Serendipity

With the closing of Eastern Nazarene College and news of a recent gathering of alumni on campus, I've been looking through old photos.

Tonight, as I sat watching tv with Jim, I texted some pictures to Wendy who visited me in Boston a number of times.

I soon heard back from her.

In that moment, she was out with some old friends who had travelled to Boston with her and Troy on some of the trips. They had just been reminiscing, and then my photos arrived.

It's funny how those things happen.

Sometimes

I sill haven't shared her sweet song about

feelings with my kindergarteners,

but I can imagine them giggling

over the underwear part!

There are many others, but these are three "why me" moments that stick with me -

1. being noticed by Jim at college

2. being asked by Ron Mitchell to sing at his wife's funeral 23 years ago

3. being asked to sing by Marti 

The reasons they stick I'll keep with me.

Grateful.

On July 4th, we flew to Vancouver to see Eliza.

The mountains and views were breathtaking.

family music 181

When Annie and I walked into the Mullen Heritage Center at Beulah, Rev. Sheila McCrea MacCallum was looking through Dad's scrapbook.

(The theme for the summer is music and Dad, who was a song evangelist with the Reformed Baptist Church, had shared a number of items for their display. Sheila was one of the evangelists he worked with when he travelled full-time in the 1960's.)

It was wonderful timing and we enjoyed hearing her stories.

She shared one from when they were in revival meetings at Elmwood Church of the Nazarene on Prince Edward Island. It brought tears to my eyes.

Dad was singing the song "Jesus Will Never Say No" as he played the organ.

(She sang the chorus of the song in that moment.)

In the middle of the song, he stopped singing and playing. He put his head down on his hands and in tears, he spoke the words, "Jesus will never say no."

Sheila said she felt led to stand up and have an altar call. People went forward.

Dad's heart is still so tender when he sings and talks about his Jesus.
