A LITTLE LOVE GOES A LONG WAY


A LITTLE LOVE GOES A LONG WAY

Hi guys,
Hope you had a good week. About a week ago, I went to a local buffet for lunch. Suddenly, there was a loud noise that sounded like dishes crashing to the floor. Well, lets say, that was correct. A scared little girl about "9ish", a questioning and embarrased mom stood by. I felt like I had walked in her shoes in past times. She rushed to where I was to get some napkins to clean up the mess.
People stood around looking questioningly which added to the stress. Fortunately, I had a bag of floral arrangements with me. I reached in and got one. I told her to give it to her daughter. Her face broke out in a smile and I could see the relief in her face. A few minutes later, the little girl came to give me a hug. I have learnt in my walk with Jesus, to share His undying love.
A little love certainly goes a long way!

LORD I NEED YOUR HELP


Hi guys,
Hope you had a good week. Last week I was in a food court having lunch with my husband, I decided to finish up with a really delicious hand made cup cake. The Lord put it on my heart to give a floral arrangement to the man who ran the business. It was not exactly what I would have chosen to do, but I decided to pray for strength and carry out God's wish. My dear friends God knows exactly when to intervene. After praying, my husband delivered a floral arrangement and it goes without saying that God knows it all. The young man explained later, that the simple little flower had "made his day". He discussed that he was a Christian and was struggling in his relationship with God. We had a discussion about putting God first and asking Him what He wants of us , instead of what we want for ourselves. Have a great week and try to remember
to put God first in all things.
