Wednesday night is our game night with the guys!! I always have a good time hanging out and ratting on each other while we play Xbox. Midway through the night I heard a knock on my door. I yelled "COME IN". No one came in. Another knock, "COME IN". Normally if it's someone I know they will just come in. Finally I heard a "Hello". I walked down stairs and saw a kid about 12 years old covered in snow. I asked him what he needed. He said he needed to call his dad to come and pick him up. He said they got in a fight and he ran out of the house. I let him use my phone to call his dad. He told his dad where he was and left.
Ok, back to game night...............
5 minutes later............ Knock, Knock.
Same kid. "I need to call my dad again because he drove right past me". He called his dad again and as he walked away he said thanks and God Bless.
I thought to myself, I hope his dad finds him.
So we went back to playing Xbox. 8:30 came and we wrapped things up. The guys left and I relaxed on the couch until I got my normal text from Stacey that she is on her way home from youth. That always makes me happy. About 5 minutes before she got home my friend Brent, who was at my house for game night, called me and said that his wife was at their Wednesday night activities at church (Antioch Alliance just down the road from me) and a kid was dropped off by his foster parents. When everyone went downstairs, he decided to take off because he was mad that he doesn't get to see his dad. He said that I should probably call the sheriff because they are out looking for him.
So I called the sheriff and they stopped by. I gave them the cell phone number of the kids dad and talked with the officer for a few minutes. He left and I headed to bed.
Needless to say it was a very interesting evening.
I hope that things got worked out and they finally found the kid and got him back with his foster parents.
Have a good end of the week and keep striving towards living for the kingdom.
Grace and Peace
Ben
