Warmth in the Cold

You never know how someone will affect your life.

It seems like a completely random encounter.  After all, there are thousands of different people, in hundreds of different places.  You two happen to be visiting the same address at the same time.

One of you is there because he is sad.  One of you is there because he is bored.

Neither one of you is supposed be there.

Is it joy or pain?

Is it destiny or doom?

Can it be both?

I do what I always do when I'm questioning something...look for direction from Him.  He speaks to me through my life.  A calling. 

I just keep getting the same word over and over.  I see it on the TV, magazines, restaurants, the name of a tea company.  A word that meant nothing to me before, now brings a smile, a memory, a peace that I didn't have before.

The warmth has filled in the cold.

For  a season? Probably

I will deal with the doom and the pain later.

For now I delight in the destiny and joy, as long as there is joy to be found.

You are very deep and profound today ... (a bit unnerving :o)). Seriously, this is beautiful. It paints a visual. Now ... one asks ....just who is he?

Thank you Debbie. This writing is half reality, half from a dream I had. So it's a bit complicated. But don't be unnerved, it's all good! =D
