We are blessed to be a blessing

I just love it when God brings things full circle. Isn't it awesome when we are able to help people out the same way someone once did for us?

I did something fun today.

I played tour guide to the wife of a man who is about to start working with my husband. His new job starts in July, and the young couple is looking for a place to live.

So while he became familiar with the clinic and his soon-to-be coworkers, I drove all over our area looking at rent houses and tried to make his sweet wife feel comfortable.

Fresh out of physical therapy school, they are excited about this new season in their lives.

They are 25 and 26.

The exact same ages my husband and I were when he got out of PT school.

The exact same ages we were when he got his first job and went on his first interview.

While he stayed at that clinic eleven years ago, I drove around with his future boss' wife looking at rent houses.

And while I didn't know a single soul in that city, she made me feel very comfortable--sharing her favorite things about the town and answering any and all of my questions.

I hope I helped out today, not just with geography but also in sparking a new friendship.

And I hope she was as blessed as I was.

  2. Love that!!! There's a new young couple in my husband's building that he keeps telling me we need to take out...they've only been married 4 months and are far from the comforts of friends and family...this post reminds me that I need to do the same for them that you have done this past week, what a blessing to get to do!
