The next day she was just setting down her plate with her small salad she fixed for lunch and her hot green mint tea when she heard.
“Bling.”
She herself sat down in her chair and saw his IM.
"Hello Cara, you on?"
"I'm here. Hello Dan." Again her heart flipped.
"I said a prayer for you and your kids."
She read the words and replied. "Thank you. I had said a prayer for you as well."
"I was thinking about where we could meet for lunch. Is there any place to your liking?" He is so thoughtful.
"I was thinking there is a mall we can meet at downtown and we could discuss the place at that time, if that is all right with you?" she answered.
"That would be fine."
"What about tonight? Can we chat again at seven?" She stared at the screen with so many questions inside her.
"Bling."
"Are you still there?"
All she could think to say was. "Why this sudden interest in me?" she clicked send, before she could change her mind about the question.
Dan saw her question. He wanted to answer with the right words so he wouldn’t sound crazy. So he sent up a quick prayer of guidance. Then, wrote.
“Cindy showed me your picture. Told me all about her friend Cara, It sparked my interest in her friend. Is that alright?" He hoped and prayed for her to receive this in a good way. Lord, do not let her take this wrong.
"Bling"
"Oh I see checking me out for your sister huh? lol.”
he let out his breath and smiled yes she had received it good naturedly.
"lol yeah looking out for little sis." and wanting to see why the stirring in his soul.
“Yes I guess I can understand that since Cindy and I had thoughts of meeting one day. Tonight would be fine."
He looked over at the time and saw it was about three.
"I'll be chatting with you then at seven this evening. I know you will want to spend time with your kids."
She couldn’t help but like him, she is finding herself looking forward to the chats. A week had gone by and they were chatting twice a day everyday. Laughing and joking and getting comfortable with each other. She found herself excited about the lunch date. It was Sunday and she was enjoying the service at church.
The Pastor was talking on Faith.
"Jesus said ‘Blessed are those that have not seen yet believed. Thomas didn't have the Faith to believe until he had seen Jesus himself. To be a believer it is a big step in Faith for us to believe that the Word of God is truth."
Like a big step in Faith that God is in this meeting between her and Dan. A peace washed over her she knew she is to meet him. It's all in Gods plan.
When she got home she finished the last minute ingredients to her Sunday dinner tradition, of a roast and potatoes and carrots. It was the easiest to fix on Sunday. She prepares it the night before, and in the morning places it in the oven on low heat, while at church the dinner is cooking, and ready by the time they come home. Then they spend a wonderful Sunday just being together. How she loves Sundays with the Lord and family.
To Be Continued
