A few days ago, my husband and I took a pie to a friend who was going through a difficult time. (Alas, it wasn't homemade. Homemade pies are not my style.) However, we did take the time to pick out our friend's favorite flavor.
When we returned home, we found a basket hanging on our front door. Inside were beautifully decorated cookies--from our friend. (They were homemade.)
While we had been thinking about her, she had been doing the same. Coincidence? I don't think so. I think the Spirit touched our hearts, as it did hers. Certainly, pies and cookies aren't the only way to show love. They are symbols. Remembrances. Pieces of our hearts given freely.
This I know for sure: if I look beyond a seeming coincidence, I will frequently find the acts of angels.
How sweet that you were both thinking of each other at the same time.
ReplyDeleteLove is timely, and literally so in this case! How wonderful! However, I feel pricked. There have been so many times that I have been thinking of someone, not gotten around to doing anything about it, and then have them show up on my doorstep with (insert the thoughtful thing here). I wonder if I might have had this sweet experience myself if only I had acted instead of delayed.
