Do you take advantage of all the opportunities that God puts in your path??
Just about every week I have to make a trip to our local Beaumont Staples. Around Halloween time- an employee there told me about how his daughter-about 2 weeks older than Baylee-had just been hospitalized for heart problems. As I left there I thought nothing of it...
I returned weekly... I didn't see him- then I saw him again mid-November...he told me how he had just lost his lil baby girl! My heart broke as he looked at Baylee with a different look then other strangers give! He would say hello to her and try to get her to laugh...again...my heart broke!
After loading my 'stuff' into the trunk-I sat there and prayed for this man. A few tears fell down my face as I thanked God for my healthy baby! My beautiful baby! My happy easy going baby! I thought- I will pray for this man and his WIFE often!
Last week at Staples- I ran into the man again- He again made Baylee laugh and commented on how cute she was- I said- you know- I've been praying for you and your wife!! I am sure the holidays were rough! He said WOW! THANK YOU! You have no idea how much that means to me! and I went on my way...
I am not braggin...I am reminding you to take advantage of all the opportunities you have to pray for people God puts in your path!
Did somebody cut you off today-pray for them instead of boiling in anger!!
Did it take longer at Starbucks then you expected? Pray for the car infront of you, behind you, the employees...
Did the grocery clerk have a bad attitude? Pray that God could soften their heart!
