You'll smile big at this one

I was handing out tracts the other day while drinking a really good homemade berry smoothie. It was a good day, the sun was out and I made sure to smile big at people every time I them a gospel tract. 

When I got home I just happened to look in the mirror and to my horror I saw that my teeth were filled with black seeds from the berry smoothie. No wonder people were looking at me weird!

Only One Way

This email was sent to me today:

"You know my friend Rae, well she was telling me today that at the hospital where she works they have Christian Chaplains and Catholic priests and Hindu chaplains, etc, and different rooms for the different religions that patients and families can go into and pray. The Christian Chaplain is there the most, so he has the greatest opportunity to speak to the patients and their families. Today she spoke to him and asked him a question that offended him. Here's the convo:

R: 'So, how do you do it?'

CC: 'Well, depending on what religion they are I'll send them to the Hindu room, or the Buddhist room or whatever.'

R: 'No, I mean how do you do it? Like, you believe in God and that there's only one way, so how do you lead them to the Hindu room knowing that's not the right way.'

CC: 'Well, everyone has their own way to find comfort.'

R: 'Yes, but there's only one way to find true comfort.'

CC: 'Well, I TRY to share the gospel with them…', he huffed.

She just stood there staring at him watching him squirm.

It was a quick conversation, but it made me smile. She's only 20 and a baby Christian. She told me, 'I hope I made an impact on him because every time he sends someone to that Hindu room, he's basically sending them to hell.'"

I hope she made an impact too.

Take note!

Note to self: make sure your cell phone is securely in your tract bag before crossing a busy street.

On the bright side, my tracts were secure, so I had plenty to give to the employee at the Verizon store. :-)

Are You Ready?

I wish I was doing such meaningful things at this age.

From today's email

I like this perspective. 

"Sweet Jesse came up to me after church on Sunday and said that she had to scrape the ice off her windshield this week after our unusual Texas “blizzard”; something she had done far too many times while living up in Michigan. Oddly enough, she said the more she scraped, the happier she became. I instantly added that to my mental list of “strangest things I have ever heard.” But then she went on to explain that the reason she became happier was because of the fact that she had the strength to do it (remember she has Muscular Dystrophy).

Later it occurred to me that we should be thankful that, by God’s grace, we are able to do the things we don’t like to do. (Now I’m talking strangely, huh?) I don’t know about you, but my list of things I don’t like to do is pretty long. Which now means that my list of things I’m thankful for just got longer. :-)"

Not Jesse's car. ;-)
