   Something that happened....
I had a long day at work. I was grumpy and tired (because of sleep deprivation, really) and I needed to go home. I wanted to pause at Wendy's or stop at Burger King on the way home to get something. But a little voice kept saying, "Don't. Go straight home."

Mom had asked me to go straight home, because she had put the groceries in the car I had probably before 5:30. I was supposed to get off at 6:30, it was a sunny day, and there were perishable groceries. I actually got off at 7:00. Also, the dogs had last had one of us home at 10:00--me, when I left for work. So I submitted to this thought, "Don't stop, no matter how brief it may be."

When I got home, my dad was still there. He had called as I was driving home, but I hadn't found the cell phone in time to answer. There was a broken fence along the calves' pasture, and he wanted my help with it. He was tired, as well, and he had probably 3-4 hours to drive this evening. It got dark even as we were fixing the fence, and I need to finish it tomorrow. Thankfully, the fence isn't a roadside one, but between two fields. The second field contains haybales that we need for winter, though, so it was important.

And thankfully, I listened to that still, small voice. Coincidence? I think not. It happens too much in the world to be coincidence.

Help each other for brotherly and sisterly love and for God's love. In Jesus Christ's holy name, amen.

Friend love. Hugs.
