In Light of Eternity

mikeandsus

“Mark was walking home from school one day when the boy ahead of him tripped and dropped his books, two sweaters, a baseball glove, and other odds and ends. Mark knelt down and helped the boy pick up the scattered items. Since they were going the same way, he helped carry some of the stuff. “As they walked Mark discovered the boy’s name was Bill, that he loved baseball and history, that he was having trouble with his other subjects, and that his girlfriend had just broken up with him. “They arrived at Bill’s house and spent the afternoon in … Continue reading In Light of Eternity

The Watch

mikeandsus

I stopped at a jewelry counter and asked for a watch battery. Sarah’s store did not carry batteries. I pulled out The Passage tract to give to her. “I’m a Christian,” she said and did something I have never had happen to me before. She asked for my name and my daughter’s name and shook our hands. I also gave Sarah the Satisfied tract on the Spirit-filled life and suggested she share The Passage tract with someone. Next, we moved down to the watch kiosk where we found Mirez; Rez for short. I had given Mirez a tract more than … Continue reading The Watch

Prayer “Only”?

mikeandsus

Eduardo and Luz barely speak English. Eduardo can communicate enough to understand the basics, but Luz relies on her native Spanish. I prayed for them this morning. We have been neighbors for more than a decade, and unlike our other neighbors, we have had very little contact with them. (I made one BIG contact with them when I backed into their car a few years ago!) Hopefully, our limited interactions have left a good impression (and despite the impression I made on their car!) I thought this morning that prayer is not enough, but right away I remembered that prayer … Continue reading Prayer “Only”?

Reaching East and West in One Day

mikeandsus

“Beinvenue aux Etats-Unis,” I smiled. Someone treated us to a night at EPCOT for dinner for our anniversary last year. Our waiter that night was Oliver from Paris. Unfortunately, my French is more than rusty, but I did manage to say “Welcome to the United States” (a handy little phrase I’ve used over the years.). I also wrote out and gave him some suggested destinations since he mentioned he wanted to see the USA before returning home. At the end of dinner I also handed him the French “Four Laws.” I pointed out the Paris address on the back. “This … Continue reading Reaching East and West in One Day

Do I See a Person or a Function?

mikeandsus

From Max Lucado’s Facing Your Giants, pages137 -138 “She couldn’t do anything right… “And I started to grumble. Not out loud, but in my thoughts. What’s the matter with service these days? … I boarded the plane feeling cocky… I took my seat knowing the flight was safe, since heaven knows, I’m essential to the work of God. “Then I asked for the soda, the pillow… She blew the assignments, and I growled. Do you see what I was doing? Placing myself higher than the airline attendant. … Her job was to serve, and my job was to be served. … Continue reading Do I See a Person or a Function?

You Need Prayer

mikeandsus

“Pray also for me, that whenever I open my mouth, words may be given me so that I will fearlessly make known the mystery of the gospel, for which I am an ambassador in chains. Pray that I may declare it fearlessly, as I should.” ~ Ephesians 6: 19 – 20 (NIV) Is someone praying regularly for you to be fearless in presenting the Gospel to the people around you? I used to have a homemade post card with this verse on the bottom. When I dropped a note to someone that I was praying for them, this passage from … Continue reading You Need Prayer
