Yesterday Jack was playing a video game and then uncharacteristically stopped and came and sat by me. I didn't realize for a few minutes that he was just sitting there. I stopped what I was doing and focused on him and his lower lip started trembling and he explained that he was playing a game that reminded him of Isaiah and how much he missed his friend. He started really crying and I was crying right there with him. We prayed, watched Batman together (the real one) and then went to the park that night where he met a boy that was questionable. They rode scooters together but I thought the boy might not be good for Jack and I was feeling that tight-hearted feeling that I might have to intervene. (no evidence, just didn't get to know the kid)
Jack talked all day about his new friend and planned on going to the park tonight so I went with much apprehension.
They joyfully met and started riding scooters and few minutes later, as I was observing and trying to get a feel for this kid, his mom came up and introduced herself. She happens to have 6 boys (22,20, 18, 16, 7, 3), she homeschools, and has been praying for a friend for her son. I instantly burst into tears right there on the playgound and this perfect stranger comforted me! (I'm sure we'll be friends!) God is so good to give us everything we need!
