This is a really nice message, and I wanted to share it with you -
Psalm 55:22 --- you really need to read this.
'Friends are God's way of taking care of us.'
This was written by a Metro Denver Hospice
Physician:
I was driving home from a meeting this evening
about 5, stuck in traffic on Colorado Blvd. and the car started to choke and
splutter and die - I barely managed to coast, cursing, into a gas station, glad
only that I would not be blocking traffic and would have a somewhat warm spot
to wait for the tow truck. It wouldn't even turn over. Before I could make the
call, I saw a woman walk ing out of the quickie mart building, and it looked
like she slippe d on some ice and fell into a gas pump, so I got out to see if
she was okay
When I got there, it looked more like she had
been overcome by sobs than that she had fallen; she was a young woman who
looked really haggard with dark circles under her eyes. She dropped something
as I helped her up, and I picked it up to give it to her. It was a nickel.
At that moment, everything came into focus for
me: the crying woman, the ancient Suburban crammed full of stuff with 3 kids in
the back (1 in a car seat), and the gas pump reading $4.95.
I asked her if she was okay and if she needed
help, and she just kept saying,' I don't want my kids to see me crying! So we
stood on the other side of the pump from her car. She said she was driving to
California and that things were very hard for her right now. So I asked,' And
you were praying?' That made her back away from me a little, but I assured her
I was not a crazy person and said, 'He heard you, and He sent me.'
I took out my card and swiped it through the
card reader on the pump so she could fill up her car completely, and while it
was fueling, walked to t he next door McDonald's and bought 2 big bags of food,
some gift certificates for more, and a big cup of coffee. She gave the food to
the kids in the car, who attacked it like wolves, and we stood by the pump
eating fries and talking a l ittle.
She told me her name, and that she lived in
Kansas City . Her boyfriend left 2 months ago and she had not been able to make
ends meet. She knew she wouldn't have money to pay rent Jan. 1, and finally, in
desperation, had called her parents, with whom she had not spoken in about 5
years...They lived in California and said she could come live with them and try
to get on her feet there.
So she packed up everything she owned in the
car. She told the kids they were going to California for Christmas, but not
that they were going to live there.
I gave her my gloves, a little hug and said a
quick prayer with her for safety on the roa d. As I was walking over to my car,
she sai d,' So, are you like an angel or something?'
This definitely made me cry. I said,
'Sweetie, at this time of year angels are
really busy, so sometimes God uses regular people.'
It was so incredible to be a part of someone
else's miracle. And of course, you guessed it, when I got in my car it started
right away and got me home with no problem. I'll put it in the shop tomorrow to
check, but I suspect the mechanic won't find anything wrong.
Sometimes the angels fly close enough to you
that you can hear the flutter of their wings...
Psalms 55:22 'Cast thy burden upon the Lord,
and He shall sustain thee. He shall never suffer the righteous to be moved.'
My instructions were to pick four people that I
wanted God to bless, especially for the months left in 2008, and I picked you.
Please pass this to four people you want to be
blessed and a copy back to me.
Here is the prayer:
'Father, I ask You to bless my children,
grandchildren, friends, relatives and email buddies readin g this right now.
Show them a new revelation of you r love and power. Holy Spirit, I ask You to
minister to their spirit this very moment. Where there is pain, give them Your
peace and mercy. Where there is self doubt, release a renewed confidence
through Your grace, In Jesus' precious name. Amen.'
I know I picked more than four -- you can, too.
When Satan is knocking at your door, simply say,' Jesus, could You please get
that for me.
