Day 171 - Tuesday

So I said I was going to pray and ask God what He wanted to do today.  That kind of didn't really happen.  I am not sure why this surprises me.  It is hard to break the habit of self centeredness.  Just Sayin!


Anyway, I took my kiddos up to church to pass out flyers for some upcoming events in the neighborhood around the church.  I took my son and two of his friends and another lady on my team, and my daughter went with her two friends and their dad.  We split in to teams and hit the neighborhood.  We hadn't gone too far when one of the boys put the flyer on the door step of a house and a young man probably in his early 30's came flying out of the house screaming about how he didn't want the flyer.  It was CRAZY!!!  Luckily the boys were full of energy and didn't here what the man was saying as he tried desperately to fling the flyer out of his yard and ran back into his house.  We kept walking and ran into a mom and her 3 kids and talked to them for about 20 minutes.  As we turned and headed back to the car, I saw the flyer that had been left at that man's house in the middle of the street.  I thought to myself, and then said a loud, "Wow, he went to an awful lot of trouble to throw that out in the street!"  Paper is light and there was virtually no breeze so he really had to almost walk all the way out to the street and throw it.  We took that opportunity to pray for him and bless his house.  I know that even though that situation was a little frightening, it was also a divine appointment.  He obviously needs an encounter with the real love of God.  So here was our opportunity!


No, we didn't go back and ring his doorbell and ask if he needed prayer for anything but I did feel an awful lot like the CareBears when they would unleash their little CareBear Share out of their tummies whenever someone needed help! LOL


God tells us in His Word that we are to love our enemies and bless those that curse us.  This was a perfect example for my son and his friends get to see adults do just exactly that.  My son's friend even said, we definitely need to pray for him.  I know that God hears and answers our prayers and I know that that young man is in for the ride of his life!
