They often ran through my mind. No, what surprised me was that I wasn\u2019t just thinking the words. I was singing them out loud. Even stranger, I was singing them out loud on the phone to a man I\u2019d never actually met.<\/p>\n<p>It was the spring of 1989. I was working for the vice president of an engineering company in Scarborough, Ontario. Part of my job was communicating with our suppliers, and I got to know some of them quite well through our phone conversations. My favorite calls came from a guy named Thurman.<\/p>\n<p>He phoned once a week from Houston. I always knew it was him because of his Texas twang. We joked about the differences in weather between Texas and Ontario. He asked me about my job, and I asked him about his elderly mother. We were more than 1,500 miles apart, but I felt close to him somehow. Our conversations left me feeling upbeat and recharged.<\/p>\n<p>When he called on that warm spring morning, I could tell business wasn\u2019t the first thing on his mind.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHow\u2019s your mother doing?\u201d I asked, following a hunch.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNot so well.\u201d He sounded so downhearted. He said he was going out of town on business and worried about leaving her.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhy don\u2019t you bring her with you?\u201d I said.<\/p>\n<p>Dead silence. Now I\u2019d done it, poking my nose in where it didn\u2019t belong.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou know what,\u201d he said, \u201cthat might be just the thing she needs. It could really lift her spirits.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cExactly,\u201d I said. \u201cMaybe you two could visit Ontario someday. It\u2019s lovely <a href=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/angels-and-miracles\/miracles\/gods-grace\/a-surprising-promise-of-spring\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">in the spring<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>I have no idea what got into me, but that\u2019s when I started singing the first verse of \u201cJesus Bids Us Shine.\u201d I finished and Thurman didn\u2019t say anything. I never talked about my faith at work.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThank you,\u201d he finally said.<\/p>\n<p>That was my last phone call to Thurman. Shortly afterward I left the engineering company and moved to another city to look after my father, who had become incapacitated. I thought about Thurman every so often, wondering if he ever did take that trip with his mother. I was beginning to appreciate what a <a href=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/positive-living\/health-and-wellness\/living-longer-living-better\/life-coaching-because-even-caregivers\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">caregiver<\/a> goes through.<\/p>\n<p>Two years later, I went back to Scarborough for a wedding. I stayed with a friend. We went to the grocery store to buy a few things. A familiar voice stopped me in my tracks.<\/p>\n<p><em>That Texas twang&#8230;<\/em> I listened for a moment, then followed the voice around the corner to the next aisle. An elderly woman walked beside a tall man pushing a cart. She reached for something on a shelf and several cans tumbled to the floor. One rolled all the way down the aisle and up against my foot. I picked it up and walked over to hand it to the man.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHere you go.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThank you,\u201d he said. He seemed a bit flustered, and I helped him pick up the other fallen cans.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThurman?\u201d I asked.<\/p>\n<p>He paused. His face broke out in a smile and he burst into song. \u201cYou in your small corner and I in mine&#8230;\u201d<\/p>\n<p>I laughed and joined him on the last note. \u201cYou have a beautiful voice!\u201d I said.<\/p>\n<p>Thurman\u2019s mother spoke up. \u201cHe used to sing in the church choir, but I hadn\u2019t heard a note from him in years, not since some bad breaks and setbacks. Then one day he came home from work singing that song. A few weeks after that, he started coming back to church and it\u2019s made all the difference.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Thurman nodded and talked a bit about the past two years. He and his mother had started <a href=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/prayer\/how-to-pray\/5-prayers-for-safe-travel\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">traveling together<\/a> and eventually made their way to Toronto. He\u2019d stopped by Scarborough to see colleagues and was disappointed to hear I\u2019d moved away.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI wanted to tell you I took your advice, but I couldn\u2019t find you!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSomeone made sure you did,\u201d I said. The same one, on a spring day, who put that song in my heart.<\/p>\n<p><em>This story first appeared in the April\/May 2017 issue of<\/em> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bit.ly\/myswayssub\"><strong>Mysterious Ways<\/strong><\/a> <em>magazine<\/em>.<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In this world is darkness, so let us shine\u2014You in your small corner and I in mine.
