There was a board meeting of guys my age at Hardee’s this a.m. I don’t get to go often, but it was a joy. They’ve seen a lot, experienced the joys and sorrows of life, been active in their churches, and realized afresh and anew that nothing happens outside of God’s knowledge - that He uses everything in His eternal plan and purpose. I am experiencing some pain in my heel. It's made me more aware of the intense pain that others suffer (mine is nothing). It's helped me to intensify my praying for them. Father, thank You for using all to shape and mold us for You, amen.
