OLD ACQUAINTANCE
41 years ago Anita and I made a honeymoon trip through Canada and the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. We spent one night in a tiny little cabin near Hulbert Lake, and ate a meal at Hulbert Lake Lodge. We were so enamored with that quiet little lodge that the following year we spent a week in one of their rustic cabins on the lake. It was managed by Greg and Marge Curtis, and Anita really hit it off with Marge.
Last week Anita and I decided to drive over there for old times sake. The tiny little cabin beside the road was still there, although not in use. And the Hulbert Lake Lodge hadn’t changed much over the years. We grabbed a flyer from the dining hall that said it was managed by Marge Curtis. So we drove to where she could be found and looked her up. She was the same today as 41 years ago, although a little older. We had a nice visit and even got to pray for her.
There are people you’ve met along the way that left a lasting impression on your mind. God had put them there in your path for a specific purpose. Although it may have been a short-term connection, it served God’s purpose. Remember who they are and pray for them.
