Day 120 --

Today I had to make a run to Walmart and was standing in line while someone else was checking out.  I was putting my stuff on the end of the conveyer and the person in front of me said my name.  I looked up and at first didn't recognize who it was, and then realized it was my dear old friend Janice.  I have not seen her in many years, and we grabbed each other and hugged and hugged while the cashier watched with what I can only guess to be confusion and amusement.  After we got checked out, we stood  and visited for probably 45 minutes--trying to catch up for at least 9 years of living.  We agreed it was time to leave past problems between our families in the past and get back to being the best friends we have been for most of our lives.  I believe that us being in line right next to each other was a God moment, and I thank him that he took over that situation for us.  Almost the first thing she told me is that she was no longer a Catholic, and had joined the Methodist Church and loves it.  You could tell in her voice that she really is excited about it, and I'm so happy for her.  She has her girls and their children going to church there as well.  She was also telling me that her youngest daughter has adopted two Ukrainian special-needs children and is in the process of adopting a third.  What a special calling to take on three special needs children who speak no English.  Amazing things going on in her life, and I am so blessed to have re-connected with her.
