I was preparing to leave yesterday from Kansas City, but was frustrated to have to wait for some mechanical issues to be fixed. While I was waiting I ran into a co-worker whom I hadn't seen for about 2 months.
When I last saw him, he was telling me how he and his wife divorced almost 12 years ago. Since that time he has had little contact with his wife or 3 daughters. He had said it was nearly 5 years since he had spoken to any of them. His daughters are now in their mid 20's and the youngest is 18. I left him letting him know about our prayer group and that I would be praying for him. I was pleading in my heart for the Lord to rescue me from that outcome.
When I saw him yesterday he came up to me with a huge grin and said "you'll never guess what happened!"
He said last Wednesday, he was having a miserable day and at the end of the day, his oldest daughter telephoned him out of the blue to say she was sorry for things and wanted to get together and let him meet his grandchildren. The next day his middle daughter called and asked him if they could have lunch sometime. She told him how horrible she has felt because she and her sisters wouldn't ever return his calls. She said that his youngest daughter was still a little immature, but she felt that she would come around.
He said he feels like he has a whole new life... all of a sudden. I had to tell him that to me, that is an answer to prayer. I am keeping this man in my prayers as he is not a believer, but I think his heart may definitely be opening.
I am overwhelmed this morning.
