Out of the blue

Pin It

It's amazing when you think about it. Somehow you always get what you need every single day. This week I received the Trifecta of telephone calls.

Three wonderful old friends called me in the last two days ~ out of the blue. I didn't connect the dots until the last one phoned. I recognized the long ago number on caller ID. Wow, I thought, what was happening in their lives for them to call me? Then it hit me after today's call was done. Nothing. They didn't call to get something from me. They called to give me something... they called to give me peace.

When I asked about each of their lives and families it was all the same answers. "Fine." "Doing well." "Great!" they responded short and sweet before redirecting the conversation back to the purpose of their call. Their core told them to pick up the phone and check in. They listened faithfully.

It feels wonderful to be thought of and cared for and loved. Some days that is all we need! It is comforting to know that when you are a bit sad over a loss, there is someone somewhere who will listen to his heart, pick up the phone and call to lift you up, without even knowing why they felt that lead.

I have the best friends both from my past and from my present. I am rich indeed!

Thank you for calling me, you three.
There was a purpose and you fulfilled it.
The sadness has been replaced by the joy of hearing your voice.
There is no higher reward than knowing you did the right thing.
You did. Trust me.

I will pay-it-forward, this peace you gave me.
Love you all!!!
May you be blessed continually ~ just as you have blessed me.
