Totally Stoked!

I have something really amazing I want to share with you all. While I was at Matt's football game last Saturday (They Won! 6-0) they had Homecoming. It was pretty basic, some of the parents walked with their children on the field. They announced each person's name as they came to the front of the line. One name caught my attention. You see I have a friend named Sherri with a very unusual last name and that was the name I heard. When the man came back to the stands and sat down, I went over and asked his last name again. Repeating the name just wasn't enough for me so I asked him to spell it. I am sure this guy was probably wondering who the heck I was. I told him I had a friend named Sherri with his same last name. He didn't recognize her but it just so happens that his parents were there to see their little grandchild that day so he asked his mom. Michael's(the man I spoke with) mother knew exactly who Sherri was. It turns out that her husband,(Michaels father) sitting right there with them, was Sherri's father's half brother!( Did you follow that? Roger says I give bad directions and this is sort of the same thing) There was quite a bit of age difference between the two men but never the less they were brothers. So what, you say. No big deal. WAIT, there's more! Sherri knew about these people but she had never met them. She also hadn't been in contact with her father within the past 5 years. She didn't know him to well growing up, but got to spend some time getting to know him in the early 90's. Anyway, today I was at Matt's football Practice and Michael comes walking up and tells me that his parents would like to speak to me. I was kind of dumb founded. I had no clue why. Unfortunately Sherri's dad had just passed away today. They had no way to contact Sherri. I was it. God put me at the right place and the right time for His purpose! Sherri would have never known. She is so sad of course. But the wonderful thing is that she has discovered this wonderful family with whom she is a part of! There are sad things that happen in our life, but God always provides a silver lining! I know this post isn't about me today, but guys I have to say, I'M TOTALLY STOKED THAT GOD THOUGHT OF AND USED ME!
