I was doing my usual morning prayers today when I came across this line in the Living Faith reflection by Sr. Ruth Marlene Fox, O.S.B.:
Maybe I know someone who needs a friend or a phone call or a person to drive her to the store or clinic.
Just yesterday my mom had called and asked if I would take her to the store today (Due to medical reasons, she hasn't driven in over 20 years). While I didn't exactly say "No," I did demonstrate an unusual lack of enthusiasm for the idea. I was feeling pretty badly about it after as it was, and then I read that passage this morning. So, yes, I called my mother, and the boys and I did take her shopping today, which was obviously what I was supposed to be doing.
Sometimes God is anything but subtle!
