"You Look Very Familiar"

I had a young lady at one of the Pizza Huts in Ames say that I looked very familiar. She asked if I had a brother. I told her yes and that his name is Joe. She told me that she went to elementary school with him and Grant and that she also attended his funeral. We had a great talk and I told her I was glad that she talked to me about him, since most people shy away from the subject. So, I gave her a card with our church website to check out what we have been up to since Joe’s passing. It was also really nice to hear someone say I look just like Joe. Joe and I used to get that all the time, even with the six years between us. I haven’t heard the comparisons that much in the last five years due to obvious reasons. But, I believe God knew what I needed to hear and I wonder if this young lady needed to be reminded of Joe.
