- Mood: blessed
- Music: need to breath
We were on our way to a singing when we stopped at a gas station to fill up. I decided to pump while my husband went in the store. It was so cold and windy that day! All I could think about was how I wanted to hurry up, get done and get back in my warm vehicle. Then as I was finishing up John came back out of the store. He said, Do you think they really need help? Who, I said? Those two girls over there holding that sign, he explained. I looked over and to my surprise I saw 2 young girls sitting in the back of their car with the hatched popped up holding a sign that said $$$ for Gas. I looked at John and said, I don't know but I'm gonna give them a couple dollars and a CD. I grabbed a CD and $5.00 out of my purse and walked toward the girls. I smiled as I approached them and said, I'll give you some money if you take one of my CD's. The girls smiled and said sure! I then told the girls that I loved them and for them to be careful. As I turned to walk away there was a lady coming up to give them money too, then another one and another. John said at least 6 people came up to them after I left. As we pulled away we saw their tags were from out of state. Maybe the girls needed the money and maybe they didn't. This story isn't about that. It's about seeing a ministry opportunity and taking it! This that dwells in me is not mine to Keep but mine to Share! See I was cold and in a hurry. I wasn't thinking about sharing the ministry, but I was thinking about me! Lisa was cold. Lisa wanted to hurry up and get on down the road. See if we don't take the time to look around we will miss the opportunity He has for us to help others and in turn help ourselves! Maybe those girls never heard I love you from a total stranger before. Maybe they had never heard about Jesus or listened to a gospel song that proclaimed him as King and just maybe I was their chance to learn about Him! What if I would have stuck my nose in the air and said look at those bums? What type of Christian would I have been?!!! Sorry to tell you, but I wouldn't have been one at all! Don't miss your opportunity! Don't let a chance to help someone else pass you by! Don't be like the Pharisees and wonder what Jesus is doing down there with the sinners, but be Like Jesus and walk among those that need help and by all means....Help them.
