A couple of weeks ago, my husband had an appointment in a city 2 hours away… in a different state… and the kids and I decided to go with him.
She was making sundaes – Adding strawberry topping to someone’s chocolate and vanilla ice cream. So, I waited patiently for her to finish, and I walked up to the counter. “This must seem pretty strange. But, my husband and I were in here a few minutes ago with our kids. We went to leave, and I just couldn’t. We live 2 hours away and my husband had an appointment here in town. I wasn’t supposed to come, but just felt like I was supposed to. I think I came all this way because God wants you to know how much He loves you. He sees you right where you are. Working here at this shop. He has a plan for your life and He wanted to make sure I told you. Here is my email address and name. You can keep it and use it or toss it, but the most important thing you know is that God loves you very much.”
I don’t know what has happened in her life since that day, but I know that I will continue to pray for others to enter her life and wrap her in the love of Jesus.
Because, that’sĀ all there is, folks. The purpose to everything we do. We are to look for the lost, the sick, the broken, and the hurting and share the love of Jesus. I have a feeling the more that I go back, the more God will send me on special assignments like these and the easier this will get.
The truth is, I am just like you, and if I can do it, you can too. He loves you just as much, friends, and so do I.
