OK, today I want to tell you about 2 people in the country of Hungary. I've never met them. So why would I want to tell you about them? Because it is amazing how God can put people together half-way around the world. It's a small world after all.......
For those who know us, you know we have "dinner" with missionaries most evenings. We post their pictures (or names on index card if no picture) on our dinner table and when we have prayer, we pray for that family. Then we might talk about what that family might be eating, what they might need, where their country is, what time it is there, etc. And then usually when I tuck the 2 youngest ones in bed later in the evening they pray again for "our missionaries". Well, about a year and a half ago when we moved to a different church we got some new pictures and one of them was for a couple that is in Hungary. It seemed like every few days the picture of Paul and Tina Brock would be chosen from our somewhat large stack of pictures. So we've prayed for them quite a few times. In the meantime, my 8yo was making a good friend in church who also homeschooled. This spring/summer we have gotten to know them better and guess what - the people in Hungary are the grandparents of my 8yo's best friend! Here we were praying for her grandparents not even knowing who they were! Isn't that neat??!! Now when we pull out a card we wonder, do we know their children/grandparents/sisters/uncles? And maybe we will meet the missionaries or their families sometime in the future because....
[And yeah, you can be mad at me for making you get that "small world" song stuck in your head !]
