Good morning…
“Hi Sue,” she wrote from Newton County, Georgia. “Saturday I tried and failed twice to message you, so perhaps the delay was providential.”
Then she told me her story: “Still seeking a new church home, Sunday I attended a nearby independent ‘contemporary’ church. Since I still love (and miss) singing in a really good choir, it was out of my usual comfort zone. But the message was part of a series on road signs. Just as you have treated us to the vast variety of Tables, I found it crazy that your blog on Sunday featured Road Signs.”
She added: “The stage (not pulpit) held several actual road signs, including MERGE, DETOUR and U TURNS ALLOWED. The sermon focused on the U TURNS. You can imagine where that went. So your photos added to my translating traffic signs into the subtle directions God gives us. And introduced me to the new one: TRAFFIC TABLE. mmmm… Always blessings to you (and Steve).”
“Yes,” I responded, “God erects subtle signs every day of our lives. It is so fun to have moments when we see the divine signs so very clearly, front, center, unmistakable. If the Spirit leads, might I anonymously share your story of the synchronicity of God’s signs this past Sabbath morning?”
“Of course,” she replied. “I just thought it funny that God inspired both you and the minister in a different county to use traffic signs in your messages. Still trying to connect God and Traffic Table, but I’m sure it’s there. Speed Bumps, Yield, Stop, Slow, 4 Way (Stop), and I especially like ONE-WAY! Have a great week, Sue!”
A person finds joy in giving an apt reply — and how good is a timely word! (Proverbs 15:23, NIV).
…Sue…
