(Or how my mom talking to strangers used to really annoy me but now I kind of think is cool.) by marlene http://michelleoeltjen.com/?p=208#comment-505 marlene Thu, 02 Feb 2012 02:34:11 +0000 http://michelleoeltjen.com/?p=208#comment-505 This is a great confirmation to be sensitive and open to the people you meet along the path of life. You never know, strangers could be angels in disguise. When my sister, Lois, met Michelle's mom on the airplane they planned to meet for coffee the next day. Both discussed where they like to hang out for coffee when they visit. They were unsure of the coffe shop name. Could it be the same coffee shop?! One from Iowa, one from Nebraska, both unfamiliar with the Phoenix area. One description was that it was near a dry cleaners. I thought, "Oh my! This could be anywhere in this big city of Phoenix." My sister said "You will never know unless you try." I reasoned she must have a bad case of jet lag to think this is possible. Sure enough, we arrived at the designated time of 8 am to meet the stranger (Michelle's Mom) from the airplane and there she was at the Scottsdale AJ's coffee shop. Right on time! Through the years we have had the privilege to develop a friendship that can only grow when you think there is a divine plan, something bigger than yourself. Blessings abound! We continue to connect the threads that weave our tapestries of life. Each thread is important in the design. Great interview with Blake, Michelle. I know Anne & Dave (our daughter and son-in-law) think the world of Blake and his family. Thanks for sharing this.
