A little over a year ago I sat next to a lovely lady on a plane named Debbie. We began talking and she asked me why I was going to Orlando. I told her that my grandma had just had emergency surgery and didn’t have much time left. She told me she had recently lost her husband due to cancer. I told Debbie how wonderful Gram was and how she taught me my faith. Debbie and I talked mostly the whole flight. We both shared stories about our faith. I shared with her that I was hoping to go on the World Race one day. Nearing the end of the flight Debbie asked to pray with me for Gram. She held my hand and we prayed. Having Debbie sit by me on January 31, 2014 was truly a blessing from God. She gave me peace and brought comfort to me when I was at my lowest. How “ironic” was it that I met Debbie while traveling…. one of Gram’s favorite things. I will forever remember this coincidence.
