Yesterday I reached out to a friend of mine, another full-time RVer, who lives in Florida. She’s been on my mind a lot, especially since Florida’s been slammed with two hurricanes in as many months. I prayed she was alright.
Our paths crossed on a hiking path at an RV park in Hot Springs, Arkansas in October 2018. We exchanged pleasantries, and within just a few minutes we realized we had a lot in common; we clicked!🙏🏽 I was on Facebook at the time and had started a page devoted exclusively to practicing daily gratitude, Gratitude 365; I invited her to join. I’m so grateful she did because she often contributed beautiful sentiments that greatly enhanced the project.🙏🏽 Seeing and commenting on one another’s posts is how we stayed connected.🙏🏽
Two years later, I wanted to quit Facebook, but I didn’t want the gratitude page to go down the tubes, so I asked my friend if she’d be willing to be the admin. She consented right away.🙏🏽 There’s a saying that people come into our lives for a reason, a season or a lifetime, and she’s in the first category. Because of that brief chance meeting, not only is the Gratitude 365 page still alive, it’s thriving!🙏🏽 She makes it a wonderful inspiration to others.🙏🏽
Thankfully, my friend in Florida responded to my text message right away, saying she was okay and even mentioned that she had shared the aforementioned story ☝️ in a meeting just the day before.🙏🏽 Considering I’m not on Facebook and that we only text each other once in a very blue moon, I thought that was amazing. Is that odd, or is that God?🙏🏽 Reason, season, lifetime…I’m so grateful for ALL of my friends!🙏🏽
Do not forget to show hospitality to strangers, for by so doing some people have shown hospitality to angels without knowing it. ~Hebrews 13:2
