One of our neighbors that I gave a poinsettia to was so surprised at my gift that she called to thank me, saying that she just couldn’t believe that I would have given her such a special gift. Tears welled up, and words didn’t come easy for her, she was so touched. It didn’t seem to me to be such a big deal; but that simple gift, and the gesture of friendship meant a lot to her.

I wondered about this man, was it the first time that he was listening to Catholic Radio? What made him call? It was no coincidence that I heard that particular call. I wrote his name in my book of Prayer Intentions in red; and feel that God asked me to place him in my heart. It was particularly interesting to me since our granddaughter lives, and teaches in Boise, and our son and his wife just moved there last month.
