This question quietly tip-toed through my mind yesterday as our waitress hurried about taking orders and filling coffee cups.
You see, our writer’s group has come to know this waitress well over the past several months. She’s very lonely, lives alone (two different things), a non-believer, and she struggles with serious health issues.
Because of the connection, our group has been able to share God-glorifying $ tips (thanks to Debbie’s advice), prayers, and little gifts that hopefully demonstrate to her how much we care.
“Lord, what if Your goal for my being in this writer’s group is more about my ministering to those You put in my ink-splattered path rather than putting my name beneath a published article?”
With that prayer, I smiled as the waitress filled my cup—knowing something much more important had been filled: my true sense of purpose.
Ephesians 5:15-17 NLT
What a great example of being the hands and feet of Christ. Thank you.
You're right. We may have more impact on someone than we realize.
Ah, so true and so important to remember. God's ways are certainly not our ways.
