Established Steps

Six year old Marshall received his John Deere scarf today after he got out of school. He called me and said with much enthusiasm in his country voice "Thank you so much for that! And it's in a pattern. Yellow, green, yellow, green. It's neat!" "You're very welcome Marshall. I'm glad you like it." "Yeah, I'm going to wear it every day it snows." He was real excited and it brought a big smile to my face. :)

I went to town today to run errands. On my to-buy list was super glue, so I headed toward the office supply isle in Wal-mart. I turned down the isle and a lady approached me and asked if I could help her find the white out. She had looked up and down all the isles and couldn't find it. So I started to walk down the isle - and praise God, there it was. She said she had walked by it a couple times. I told her "I know exactly how you feel!" She thanked me and started to walk off. I reached into my purse and pulled out a gospel tract - "Here you go mam." She took it and paused for a second. I told her it had a gospel message on the back. She got a big smile on her face and was so grateful. She is a Christian too! We chatted for a little while about how God sends you one of your siblings in Christ just when you need them. Our steps are laid out before the Lord! :) She was familiar with Way of the Master and was so encouraged to hear that we put that into practice. She told me that she professed Christ at a young age, but not 'til much later did she really start living for Him. She is now 50 years old and regrets it - but is so grateful that God is raising up a younger generation. She was so sweet!!! And I am grateful to God that He crossed our paths. It is also neat to think back on the event that led up to my need for super glue. A couple weeks ago the strap on one of my much loved Crocs broke. Sad day. So I am going to try and glue it back together. Lord willing that will work.
