Serendipity

 Serendipity is the effect by which one accidentally stumbles upon something fortunate, especially while looking for something entirely unrelated.

Lise was showing me an old picture of her. I can't even remember why we started going through the album exactly. But there was a picture of her from 1983 that made me stop and go back. I was like, Umm...I have a sweater just like that from the same year. She was like NO WAY. So, I go home and get my mom to bring the picture boxes to my house so I could go through them. My kids had the best time looking at those old pictures. And there were a few of my parents from before they were married that I'd never seen. My parents were goooood looking.

Anyway. I FOUND the picture. So here we are. 28 years ago. 1000 miles apart and 26 years from meeting and Lise and I are dressed alike!  Is it any wonder that we became friends? LOL

It's amazing how far in advance God's plans are, isn't it? When our kids were little, we bought a new dining room set. The table is huge. It has not 1 but 2 leaves for it. Without the leaves, it will sit 6, with 1 leaf, it'll sit 8 and with both, it sits 10. We never put the 2nd leaf in until Christmas when Lise's family joined our's for the Scarborough-Tyner Extravaganza!  I told Ben, see, God knew we'd need this table one day because He knew the Tyner's would be coming into our lives.

How very seredipitious!!
