Miracle

Who would have thought that an early arrival at the train station and a lack of lunch would set the stage for such a random encounter.

I arrived at the "gara" to meet a group of women headed to the mountains for some time away. I decided to arrive early to allow for some time to grab lunch before our scheduled departure. After standing for a few minutes holding my tray and suitcase, a man waved me over. Without giving it much thought, I saw down. I ate in silence for a bit, hoping this awkward situation would be over soon. After a few, long minutes, he asked where I was from.

From that point, we established that he had been to MN, would be studying in Ohio, lives in Spain, and was on his way to visit his family in Craiova (a city in Romania that I have visited). It was nice to have "lunch" with a friendly stranger in the train station and certainly provides a fun story to tell. Who knows if I will ever run into Bogdan again-in a train station McDonald's or elsewhere, but it certainly brightened my day and reminded me that God can cause the paths of any two people to cross if he so desires:)
