Today I had breakfast with my daughter Michelle. She gets off work and then when she feels up to it, she calls me and invites me to coffee. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't (schedule wise). Today was a good day. We met at Panera and talked and talked.
One issue I had been praying about was her work situation. She's a nurse and had been unhappy in her present job situation. At a recent breakfast with her and my other daughter, I had indicated to her that maybe God was trying to get through to her. Unfortunately, she smiled at me as if to say "yeah, but you don't really know everything!"
Today as we sat and drank coffee, she was her good ole self. Positive, upbeat, happy, smiling, the light of the room. When asked she had indicated that her job situation had changed. I asked her what she had learned from this experience and she came back with "let go, let God".
It is truly gratifying to see a child learn the lessons they need to without too much harm being done and seeing them grow.
As I sat across from her and looked back at where she has come from, you can't but help be happy and prideful and just overflowing with love for this child. Thank you Michelle for your beautiful smile and spirit and all you bring to my life.
p.s. If children are my future, I'm in good shape.
