I don’t care what part of the country or world we are in. Or maybe
just across town. Everyday
we meet people that we probably will not ever see again. One story
a friend told me that made a great impact on me was when he and
his family were at a restaurant. The waitress was setting their
food on the table when my friend asked her this. “We are about to
say a blessing over our food and we would like to pray for you
too. Is there something specific we can pray for in your life?” They said the
waitress was overcome with happiness over a
stranger caring for
her in this way. Over the years I’ve always been blessed in
supporting ministries financially. I get great joy in seeing God’s
money bless others. We all have a ministry if we choose. It can be
a mom at home teaching and raising her children, at the office or
supporting other ministries with money or our prayers. Satan is
good about wanting us to be on a guilt trip about what we are not
doing. Amy and I were out
west one summer and were walking down
the street when we passed a row of young men passing out what
looked to be booklets. Well when I took one and looked, it was
about men’s clubs etc. Well at that moment as I threw it into
the trash, God spoke to me. I saw myself at the end of this line
of men passing out a gospel tract to counter act this evil with
God’s goodness. Over the next months I just listened to God as He
directed me to develop our card. What an easy way to touch lives. It’s all in God’s hands. So wherever we go or whoever we meet we
can hand someone a card that simply says we care. So as we are given
the opportunity to pray for people we meet or contact us through
our web site or leave a message on our toll free number. We can
also pray for their relationship with the Lord. Someone told me
one time that I just wanted people to be just like me. I said oh
no, one of me is enough, I just want you to have what I have.
