I have no time to write this afternoon! Or read! Argh! I was up all night with a sick dog (yeah, not fun) and very happy teenage girls who were creating a new video (watch the lieslandhollyshow.com or on YouTube!), so I slept late and headed to the gym. But my mind is still thinking about yesterday’s post,so I am going to give you one more quote from the book to ponder on this beautiful Saturday.
Dr. Jo Blessing tells the story of a chance meeting between two strangers. An older woman had been sitting on a park bench, despondent and lonely, thinking of suicide when a young man sat down next to her. The two of them fed the pigeons together for a few minutes. Finally the young man got up, turned to the woman and thanked her for such a nice time. This seemingly small kindness restored the woman’s faith in life. The young man never knew that he had been the answer to her prayers.
On any given day, without really realizing it, you may be the answer to someone’s prayers. If you’re too busy to reach out to people in your neighborhood or community, you’re too busy. Never forget that your touch, your thoughtfulness and your love really can work wonders in the lives of others.
Amen. I would add to that, the power of God’s love working through you even in the small moments when we barely realized we’re being used at all.
I’m off to church…have a great weekend!
