Thank you Lord for your timing.
Sometimes it makes me laugh.
Last Tuesday (October 16th) at Bible Study someone mentioned the story of the workers in the field and how they were hired at different times throughout the day. Diane looked over to me with a questioning look and I said I'd find it and email it later.
The next day, I had to email her to ask what the topic was since I remembered I wanted to look something up for her, but could remember what it was.
Heavy sigh.
Good thing she has a working memory because after she replied, I was able to find Matthew 20:1-16 (The Story of the Vineyard Workers) and send it off to her.
Imagine my delight this morning when I open up The One Year Chronological Bible and the first reading for October 22nd?
Matthew 20:1-16.
I had to laugh!

Do you have memory challenges like me?
