Always routed toward generosity

“I can’t miss this work meeting.”

But the internet is sketchy.

I’m in Ghana. 

The same place I was when I missed the last work meeting. 

My director was extremely gracious then..

But this time?

I don’t know. 

I reach out to a family friend to see if he could help me purchase a router. 

He’s trying his best, but they’re almost impossible to get. 

Finally he locates some..

But the asking price is so far beyond what it normally costs, that he’s uncomfortable even mentioning it to me. 

But the days are passing..

I’m willing to pay..  

But instead, he offers to let me borrow his, at no charge. 

I’m relieved, humbled, and thankful. 

It’s now the day before the meeting. 

To be safe I do a test run. 

Nothing but dropped calls.

Back to square one. 

At least until later that evening..

I find out from family that the house they’re staying at next door has better connection. 

And so I ask to make my calls there.

They ask the two gentlemen in charge of the home.. 

And they both looked befuddled..

“Of course you can use the home. Just come, and if you need to stay overnight, you are welcome.” 

I'm relieved. 

Humbled. 

And thankful.

With zero work calls missed.
