Playing Cards Last Night

Last night Pat and I were at The Common Grounds playing cards with David and Mary Glick. Mary and I were partners and we won the first game of euchre. The second game was a close contest when I received a call on my cellphone. It was Amy at Movie Gallery, telling me that a Bluffton student that we know, left home and was wondering the streets of Bluffton. It was 10 pm. We played one more hand and we set David to win the match. We then got into David's station wagon looking for the wondering girl. We noticed both police cars at the police station, so we stopped there to find her. The police don't normally deal with "homelss" girls, so David made a quick call to the Findlay City Mission. They had two beds available and would accept the girl, who by the way is 19 years old. We grabbed her belongings, stopped at McDonald's to get her some food, since she had not eaten since breakfast, and headed north to Findlay. We then took her to the entrance and had her check in. Soon we were on our way back home, praying that this "homeless" girl would have relationships restored, so she could return home. The holiday season is usually associated with joy and blessings, yet the world is still scarred by sin and pain knows no holiday. We thank the Lord that we can be His tools to help bring restoration to a fallen world. Always be open to His calling, even if you're playing euchre at the coffee house. These are the days my friend.
