Matthew 25:40
As you have done it unto the least of these.
This week I met an interesting lady. I had just come out of a business and saw this person standing in a bus shelter. She was probably in her early 50s. Reminded me of what my sister Dorothy looked like except she had all of her earthly belongings in a carry on bag, and a few plastic sacks. She asked me what I sold. When I told her, I was expecting to , have a few more moments of conversation and walk away. She told me she owned a business and needed credit card processing. (Which I sell). I had my doubts. But suggested we meet for coffee the next day. (Yesterday.) Yesterday was an extremely busy day for me. I had appointments and phone calls to make. I had to make two trips to superior. On the first trip I got a contract signed and had to make a quick trip back to my office to fax it to the home office. I totally forgot about the lady. Well I walked into my office and my cell phone goes off. She is asking me where I am and when I will meet her at Hardees in superior. I do a quick fax and as I do I see a miss signed spot on the contract. (Had the business owner sign in the place I was supposed to, and I signed where she was supposed to.) Had to make a trip back. I went in got the signature I needed walked out to head for Hardees to meet her and I hear “Goldy”. There she was. This lady was dressed in the typical bag lady garb. She was waiting for a bus. She asked me for a ride home. I said sure. As we drove her language changed. F….. This F……….. That. If you get the picture. I needed to find out if this lady actually owned a business or I was being scammed. As we drove the 10 miles from superior to her Home I had a chance to ask her some question. Where is your business located? She admitted she did not own a business. I figured as much. But it did open a door of communication. I was able to start sharing about Christ. I did drop her at the place she said she lived. Nice neighborhood nice house. But as I drove off Father spoke to my spirit. “A couple small changes in your life and your there.” Scary thought. Will I see her again? She has my number so I am sure she will be calling. Maybe Father will open doors of communication that can help this person. The thing to remember is this. Father arranges these meeting for a reason. Be ready.
Go in peace
Michael
