Surprise!

    Three weeks ago, we drove my mom back to where she lives with my sister in Va. As we did, our car broke down. My sister and her husband graciously offered their van to take to FL to complete our trip. There were no rental cars available, so we took them up on it. Our car has been there ever since, and we needed to go get the car. Conveniently, the weekend after our return was also the weekend of my mom's surprise 70th birthday party. My sister Cheryl had also planed to get Sarah that weekend to go to her home. So, we were all at Lynn's home for very good reasons but the most important was mom's party. However she was completely unaware of this at the time.
    My mom's friend was to come get her and take her some place while we went to the church to set up. Her friend was late and it made us late getting to the church. However, when we got there, we had our choice of where to have the event. An air conditioned room that was already set up, or a pavilion that was totally not. We took the room.  All was set up & the last person arrived, just before mom got there. Mom was very surprised. It turned out perfectly.
    Only God could plan our car to brake down, Cheryl to have time off and want to get Sarah, Sarah to have stayed with Lynn while Paul and I went back home, all necessitated going to Lynn's home, and the church only had that weekend available. This all worked out for mom's party to be a total surprise. Sometimes God surprises us too.
