To See Those You Know

Today me and my wife were supposed to have meetings with the jobcentre today at town, however not all went to plan. We have to bike/walk to our nearest bus stop about 1.5 miles and when we had done the hilly, uneven, back lane trip we were waiting for the bus when the jobcentre phoned us to tell us that our meetings had been cancelled as our advisor had a broken arm. In retrospect I can see that finding out then must have been God fueled as it allowed us to decide to go and see our niece and her mother, even though they live only 5 miles away from them we don't get round to see them a lot because we don't own a car. Now I can see God was definitely in it as we wouldn't have thought to go over today unless as we were we were part of the way there. I helped my niece's mother to clean up the apartment while my wife looked after the baby. It was a lot of fun to see them and I am glad that we didn't find out our meetings had been cancelled today. God really can use the worst circumstances to make something very special happen, he has the power to change anything for the best way, for his way. To be honest I felt that we were drawn to help my niece's mother because she has been very stressed about her apartment being messy but she doesn't like to clean it on her own and my brother is often working very harsh ours to provide for them all. It was nice to be able to do something good for her as my other brother is going to come up and stay here for the weekend and he was planning to stay there for a night. I really feel God was trying to accomodate everyone in this situation, me because I like seeing my family members, my niece's mother because she got some help cleaning up and looking after the baby, and my other brother because he hopefully should be able to stay there for a night.
