One of my good friends and coworkers, Josh Lewis, just got through sharing a story with me about how God had blessed a family through him today. At lunch today he went to the hospital to visit a friend, bible in hand. The nurse told him to have a seat in the lobby, while she checked to see if his friend was up. He said ok and took a seat by a very depressed looking couple. They were there becasue they are having alot of trouble with their 24 year old son. The woman asked if he was there to speak to them, he replied no, but I would be happy to and introduced himself. He heard their story and opened his bible to the book of Ephisians and read some scripture to them. He explained to her that even though she has no idea why her son is going through crazy times in his life, God is soverign and has a plan. After reading and discussion he asked the woman if she would like to pray and she exclaimed YES! They got down on their knees in the waiting area and prayed for God to carry out his work and a new realization that we as humans will not always realize God's plan. You just have to believe that tragic events are part of God's plan and he has a purpose for everything he carrys out. The mother embraced Josh, thanked him and asked for continue prayer and encouragement. For some reason the father walked off as they started to pray. Please pray for this family and for all the christians out there that can take a few minutes out of their lives and show God's grace, love, and encouragement to people in need. Josh never did get to see his friend, but did help someone in need. I challenge anyone reading this to reach out to people in need and share God's word, your gift will be in heaven!
God Bless!!!!!!!!!!!!!
