The Significance of a Sister Circle

The Significance of a Sister Circle

After the family funeral, one of the older women approached me in the buffet line between scooping spoons of mac and cheese and chicken piccata onto my plate. Another peppered my daughter with questions through the stall door of the church’s ladies room. A third struck up a conversation with my son while waiting to greet the family after the memorial service. They spoke as if they knew the intimate details of our lives, asking questions only a magician, or someone in the family’s inner circle, could pluck out of blue sky and thin air.

When Life Doesn’t Turn Out as Planned

As you look back on your life, can you see places in which you were plotting a course, and without your permission, it entirely changed? Looking back now, can you see how that unexpected turn was a gift from God? Do you recognize other moments in which you still can’t understand why it had to happen that way? It’s one thing to plot your course and an entirely other thing for the Lord to establish your steps.
