Phone Call

Another Phone Call You Don't Want To Get

A few minutes ago, I received a phone call from my daughter's apartment manager. After identifying herself she asked,

"Does your daughter have a cell phone number? The police are here and there is an incident. She needs to vacate the apartment immediately."

Why don't I have these numbers memorized??? With cell phones and the latest technology there just doesn't seem to be a reason to remember phone numbers, especially multiple numbers for one person.

But I am thankful for several things:

1. That in spite of the obstacles, Christina started a 4 week-long class this past Monday. So she wasn't at home.

2. Ethan's CNA who is scheduled to care for him had an emergency trip out of town. So she wan't there either.

3. Christina chose not to have a substitute CNA care for Ethan today. Instead, he went to his former caregiver's home. Ethan did not have to be escorted out of the apartment by the police surrounded by strangers in a scary situation.

4. That God knows what each day holds, and makes provision for us.

Wow, that was scary! I'm glad it turned out okay for your daughter and her son.

Thanks so much for stopping by today and enjoying a bit of my yard. Come back again!

Whew, what happened?? Hope everyone is okay. Glad that your daughter and Ethan were not there, nor anyone else for that matter.

Great perspective. God does know and that is what keeps it all okay.

Thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment. I just read a little bit about you and have a few comments about recent blogs. I admire the open letter that you wrote about your daughter's grad. Those ceremonies are very long. If you can find something to giggle at, I say enjoy the giggle. If you're looking for a signature scent, try Halston perfume. My hubby bought if for me many years ago, after bravely asking a young woman what scent she was wearing. I'm still wearing it today. I use the name Halston as my blog name. Like you, the best part of my life is my husband.

Hi Joanne, thank you for commenting on my blog.
I thought since you intoduced yourself I would come over and get to know you a little! I enjoyed my visit.
It is wonderful how God 'orders our steps' isn't it?
I'm so glad your daughter and grandson were not home.
