God visited me today in the guise of a seven year old girl, and I almost didn’t answer the door.
She rang my door bell mid afternoon. Assuming it was Amazon leaving a package, I did not get up until the bell rang twice. And there she was...
Avery: Hello. My name is Avery and I am your neighbor. I don’t think we’ve met before.
Me: It’s nice to meet you, Avery. I’m Kim. You’re right - I don’t think we’ve met before.
Long silence.
Me: May I help you with something today?
Avery: No. I just stopped by to say hello. Are you healthy?
Me: Uh - yes I am, thank you.
Avery: That’s good. Do you need anything?
Me: Thank you for asking - I’m good right now.
Avery: OK - if you need something please let me know.
She smiled and walked away. Little did she know that she took my cynicism away with her.
Forget the endless news cycle, protestors, fear, world-wide disruption, unanswered questions, conflicting information and overall mind-numbing chaos - God’s still on the job, and one of her names is Avery.
We’re in good hands. Rest well tonight.
With love and relief,
Kim
