A Day in the Life Of...

It just didn't feel right to Pam that she and Dan would spend Christmas morning alone, just the two of them. So she decided to do something about it.

A few days before Christmas, she spoke to the director of Dosher Hospital and explained her idea. On Christmas morning, Dan and Pam went from room to room, handing out her yummy truffles, singing requested Christmas carols and praying for those who desired it.

One patient asked in pleased amazement, "How long have you been doing this?!"

Pam still chuckles when she recalls her answer, "Since yesterday!"

They were able to continue serving the following day as well. A patient needed a few things from his apartment and they were more than willing to help!

Pam and Dan, thank you for your wonderful example of service, compassion, faithfulness...and even bravery! :-) May we all be encouraged and "stirred up to love and good works!"

There was a time when I would wake up each morning and ask God to give me someone to witness to that day.  Somewhere along the way, I stopped asking. Even so, almost every time I'm out and about, God gives me opportunities to share the Gospel.  Such was the case the other day at Walmart.

I was browsing in the card section when I glanced up, saw an old acquaintance, made eye contact, and heard a familiar-to-me Walmart greeting...."Heyyyyyyy, how's it going? I haven't seen you in ages!"

Somewhere in the midst of the "how's the kids, how's life, etc..." I began to purposefully turn the conversation to spiritual things. This time, it was by asking if he was going to church anywhere. He said he'd tried this-and-that religion, but that it had been years since he'd been in a church. We talked for a long time and by the end of the conversation he had agreed to read the entire Gospel of John AND First John every day! The coolest thing was, he concluded his farewell with, "I'm going to do this and the next time I see you in Walmart I'll tell you what I think!"

Pray that God will give Jim eyes that can see, ears that can hear, and a heart that can understand.
