Morning Dear Journaling Friends,
As I look outside at so much snow and want to gripe I realise how fortunate I am to be able to stay warm inside...I think of the times when hubby and I were atttending Culinary Arts at SAIT in Calgary we would help with the Mustard Seed outreach and at that time there were so many that were homeless and had little to eat....Lord may I NEVER take for granted how you have blessed me in so many ways...
So.................here we are running a 50 unit motel...really the only difficulty was when you had wedding parties....YIKES>>>those folks could be a challenge...
One day this fellow checked in and then shortly after returned with his key to inform me he was going out jogging and oh by the way while I was up in the room God spoke to me and this customer versed a scripture etc. etc. and said I am not sure if this means anything to you but by your tears I will assume yes...Being a skeptic and not familiar with this verse when he left I looked it up and basically what it meant was all that had been lost God would restore unto us...Now you must remember this Baptist was certainly not familiar with words of knowledge, and many things that scripture talks about....
One day Randy came to check in and he became a regular visitor. He would come back to the office and visit but the FIRST time he walked through that door I heard the voice of the Lord say, "Lori, I want you to tell this man about me." YIKES there we go again with things that were rather unfamiliar to me but IF you have ever had God tell you something specific you KNOW you better do it or He will persist....
Anyway believe it or not, I am reserved and in this case not exactly sure how I would approach the subject but one day he started to tell me the story of his child that had died and how much he looked forward to seeing her one day....Me, being an A personality took this advantage to ask, "Randy, may I ask just how you are sure you will see your daughter?" The conversation progressed from there and I will continue on my next blog...
I share the saddness of the passing of Perianne....we become very close to those on these sites we only meet by internet...May the Lord bestow His grace upon the family at the difficult time..

seems to be the Lord gave you a perfect opening to talk with Randy like he wanted you to; can't wait to hear the rest of the story
I would imagine wedding parties would be difficult, so much stress around a joyful event!

I was a front desk clerk for eight years and yes, those wedding parties were hectic. We also hated the sports teams and the prom parties! Those were all NOT fun! Interested in seeing your next blog :)
