Well, the flight over from Vienna to Washington/Dulles was pretty uneventful. The only downer was the guy sitting next to me. His body odor and breath were so bad, that I almost gagged a couple of times. That was the (unpleasant) surprise.
The blessing just happened. As Emily & I were backtracking (from making a wrong turn towards our respective gates - the wrong turn was caused by the sudden emergence of a Starbuck’s Coffee shop as we exited from Customs) and heading the right direction to our gates, we passed a fellow that looked a LOT like the new president of Greater Europe Mission - Henry Deneen.
I turned, looked and said, “Henry?!” He stopped dead in his tracks and chatted with us. He was coming from Toronto and is headed over to Cologne for some GEM meetings. What a blessing to run into someone whom we’ve already grown to love and appreciate.
I don’t really believe in coincidences. We made a wrong turn, bought a cup of Starbuck’s and just happened” to run into him. The way he was going and the way we were going were not parallels in any fashion. We ran into him in an almost perpendicular fashion, so the timing had to be perfect.
God is good, isn’t He?
