unexpected consequences

I used to call the surprising things that happen to use here unintended consequences. I have learned that's not correct. They are really unexpected consequences. They are clearly intended. What am I talking about? Just a couple examples for now. The Kayesa Inn (near the farm) is first up. We stopped there last year to see if we wanted to stay there this year. We determined immediately  that we did. The primary reason? The owner and staff. Each morning this year Joyce dropped by when we were having breakfast to deliver a "sermon". Her messages were always amazing, inspiring and challenging. One morning her question was "Who are you?" Are you living the life you should?  Our final morning we met with Joyce and her staff for singing and praying and Joyce sharing the news that four of her "tall boys" (who had been nothing but trouble) were giving their lives to Christ. Overwhelming. One of their traditions is to sing us away from the Inn. Including following us down the road as we drive away. I know, you have to be there but that morning we pretty much left in tears. The most amazing thing is we just stayed there. They weren't part of our schedule. They didn't know us from any other stranger. They loved us, praised us and generally overwhelmed us. Memories for a lifetime. This evening was he second example of an unexpected consequence. The tailoring school Graduation was this morning (A wonderful celebration but details for another post), lunch afterwards and then a brief trip for shopping at the local "market". We headed back to the Luwinga Lodge for a performance by a dance/singing group. As usual, we had no idea. They were amazing and faith inspiring. While they were performing, several of the team collected a group of kids and got them dancing. It was hilarious. The team gave the group a small donation ((the equivalent of $26). The response from the leader was to throw herself on the ground in praise and thanks. Doesn't matter where or when, just know that something like the above is going to happen almost ever day. It leaves you speechless. It leaves you inspired and it leaves you knowing we all have a long way to go on our faith journey. Know that we are all safe and well and sharing an amazing  journey. Peace and Blessings to all. (S & H - Goofy says Hi.)
