Someone That I Want To Get To Know

Well, today the Lord ordered my steps and once again He lead me in the right direction. He always leads me in the right direction!!!

HISTORY:
Last year, I met a couple through the Senior Meals on Wheels program here in town. One day while delivering a meal, I noticed there was a juicer in the kitchen. I asked the husband how he liked his juicer. He said he never uses it. I told him that I was actually interested in buying a juicer so we were going to make a deal. Later on, I called this dear man and we talked several times but never agreed on a price. So, I ended up buying a juicer brand new.

PRESENT:
This dear man passed away about a month and his wife is getting rid of some of his things. She called me and asked me if I wanted the juicer still and I said "Yes". I met her at the apartment and picked up the juicer. Well, one reason I wanted the juicer was to make juice for seniors in the area. I figured even though vegetable juice is good, if someone is sick they won't feel like cleaning the juicer and etc. I would offer a free juicing service. So, now I have two juicers and no seniors to juice for.

HE ordered my STEPS:

As I left the little apartment, I saw a woman walking and I felt a nudge from the Holy Spirit to talk to her. I approached her and asked wasted no time in asking her if she needed someone to juice for her. She explained that she had been through a serious illness and was also on a diet to lose weight. She also, said that she was juicing and had been juicing for herself for a while. So, she explained that she was well taken care of at the moment. Then as we continued to talk, she told me about a little support group for people who had the same illness she suffered with. And I began to talk about a little support group my Mother Hilda goes to for her illness. We laughed and chatted and I thought to myself "This woman is really funny and she has such a healthy perspective about life". She had been through a difficult surgery and went through some pretty severe trials but she is filled with joy! Since I told her that I wanted to juice for seniors, she tried to think of someone who might be interested and began to think out loud. As she was thinking out loud, I realized that I could juice for the seniors in my mother's support group. You would think that I would have thought about that along time ago; however, I didn't.

Someone That I Want To Get To Know:

This woman was so interesting and had such a colorful life. She is someone that I want to get to know. I think I will send her a little note or a card in the mail.

Lord, What Can I Do For Fun???

My Mother Hilda and I don't do very much. We may go out to eat sometimes and of course we go to church. So, lately I have been trying to find activities that we both can do and that don't cost much money. Well Praise God, He heard my cry and ordered my steps because I found something that was just so much fun for me.

There is a park in a near by city that has an Orange Grove located next to it. Anyway, from January to March, you can pick oranges. It is 5.00 for two bags. Picking the oranges is just a ton of fun (to me it's fun). And, the oranges are sooo delicious! I had the best time. I am so thankful that I found that little orange grove.

Praise the Lord!!!
