A Chance To Share
Two 12 packs of water in the freezer overnight... loaded up
and on the road to street ministry... First stop the tire
shop 4 bottles and 2 prayers later... off to the next stop
the backside of the rail yard a camp that changes regularly
7 bottles and we had church... an elder woman sings "To God
be the Glory"...gave out 2 Bibles in large zip lock bags..
1 asked the Lord into her heart... we gathered in a circle
held hands and asked of prayers answered.. off to find someone...
as I pass by Mrs. Ella's home I saw no one there... Mrs. Ella
has been a regular stop for the last 3 years... at first only
a bottle was allowed to be left by her step... but lately
she would be waiting for me... she so enjoys sharing her Jesus
stories with me... I stopped and looked front and back no
Ella... the man across the street waved I took him a bottle...
I asked him about Ella... He reported that Mrs. Ella had passed
away last week.. she had wandered away and was found behind
the church...
A sense of loss came over me...
I got into the van and took a drink of water... this time
is for prayer...
Father thank you for the bottles of water that opened the
friendship and gave Mrs. Ella a chance to share her Jesus
stories with me... Amen
This wasn't a loss but a gain one sees the reward and the
other sees the bottle of cold water... and yet another chance
to share...
