God's sense of humor is sometimes at my expense. My plans today included a walk to the library. Since it's cloudy, I checked the weather forecast. Rain was not predicted for a couple of hours. I had plenty of time.
On my walk, I passed by a bird bath. There was no water in it, yet a little swallow was sitting on its edge. I thought, not prayed-really, just thought that we could use a little rain. The second that thought left my brain, rain poured down. Immediately, I thought, Lord, when I request serious needs, You ignore me. But a thought to You, not even a prayer of petition, and You fulfill it! Very funny.
I weighed my options: I could continue my walk and get to the library, drenched; I could duck into the church, which was nearby. I thought the rain may be God's way of getting me into the church, so I went in.
I was on my way to sit in front of the Tabernacle, when I heard my name called. Two ladies I casually know, were calling me. They volunteer for St. Vincent de Paul and were working. By the time, we finished our talk, it had stopped raining.
It was a short shower. I never made it to the Tabernacle.
At the library, a good friend, whom I haven't seen in quite a while, called me over.
My plans never included getting wet. On the other hand, my plans didn't include the blessings of friends.
Thanks be to God.
