Went to the bank to cash a check I’ve been sitting on from my brother.
Walking in the door a nice young man heald the door open for me.
I thanked him.
Standing in line I asked what he’s doing today.
He said doing some work around the church
I asked what he was doing and he replied “ well I’m the pastor and I do it all. Yard work today.
Well I’ve been thinking about some spiritual guidance for past several months.
I asked him did he have a little time to talk.
He did so we went for breakfast and coffee on me.
Laid out my questions and this guy gave it to me straight.
Didn’t blow smoke up my …
Straight up a great dude. Genuinely believes in what he’s doing.
Thanked him with a promise to keep in touch.
I’m gonna call my mom. We got some issues we need to clear up before it’s too late.

Sounds like it was meant to happen Ben, definitely settle Family issues before it's too late , I believe it would be more of a burden on us if we carried the baggage later in life, Have a Great rest of the Day ,,,

Sounds like a good decision to me. The Past is past and will never change. But we can decide what our Future will be.

Way to go Ben!! Taking that initiative to talk with that Pastor was divine intervention. Really happy for you and hope you can mend things up with your mom. Life will be so much better and you will feel a certain "relief" in life. God bless you Ben and keep looking up as life goes on.

Here it is nearly 2 hours since you posted Ben. Hope you have called by now. No guarantees on tomorrow, nor the next minute.

Good for you with the chance meeting of the pastor. Makes me think someone up stairs had something to do with it.

Way to go Ben. Just think some here doesn’t have a mother because she is gone. No matter what happened it’s in the past and you have to settle it and move on. It being Mother’s Day weekend just show her some love. Just ask God to guide you on what to say. It’s only harder to keep it bottle up inside so open up to her. Tell her how you feel but also respect how she feels

Truly an uplifting story Ben. I don't believe in coincidences Ben. I believe that it was suppose to happen that way.
You can call it what you want but GOD has things planned out for us and He has our best interest at heart.
Hope you can work things out with your Mom. I'll be prayin for you both.
