I wanted to share the weekend that I had. I really saw God working this weekend. Saturday morning my girls, a friend of theirs and I were given the opportunity to deliver some lap blankets to a nursing home with a few members of Bethany Church. There was a bit of a mix up with communication; I guess we were suppose to visit a certain group of people but it turned out no one there was expecting us. So, we got to visit with a group that was in the activity center plus one lady that was sitting out in the hall reading a book. The director pushed her chair in to the activity room while the lady protested. She just wanted to sit out in the hall and read her book. A few minutes after she received her blanket she turned to me, with tears in her eyes, and apologized for her behavior. She was so touched by the gift of the blanket. She told me how she used to love to crochet and how she loved having an extra blanket to keep on her bed. I gave her a hug as she went on and on about how much she appreciated the blanket. God's hand at work.
Sunday, a group from my church, Dodge Park Church, made a trip to a veteran's center down in Detroit. We were invited by another Pastor to help give the men there a church service, and to serve the men food. The best part of the afternoon was when we were given the opportunity to personally pray for each man that need prayer for a temptation in their lives. Praying out loud has always been hard for me. I am noticing that I am starting to be a little more comfortable with it. Especially when it comes to praying for a complete stranger. I felt honored that the two men I prayed for were comfortable enough to share with me their temptations and it felt great to have the opportunity to pray for them. God worked in those men's lives yesterday and I seen him working in mine. I am not as afraid to let God use me as I use to be.
God is faithful and worthy to be praised!
