Conversation

As I was driving home from serving Buckwheat Cakes at my church this evening I decided I wanted a little ice cream so I stopped at the local convenience store/laundromat/gas station.  I saw a young mother with her young daughter taking laundry in....and that's when the conversation began.

me:  Man, I'm so glad I don't have to do laundry here.

God:  Bless them.

me:  What?  How?

God:  Ice cream.

me:  What?  Just get them some ice cream?  They won't have spoons.

God:  Ask.

me (while checking out with my ice cream):  Do you have any spoons?

clerk:  Yeah, sure.  Over there.

me:  Oh.  Then I need to get another ice cream.

God:  See?  (God is a man of few words, isn't He?)

And I could just feel the smile on His face get bigger and bigger as I delivered the ice cream.

me (to the momma and child):  You should get to eat ice cream when you have to do laundry.

Momma and child:  Thanks!  (with big smiles...like God's!)

And I was wearing my church t-shirt that says Faith in Action...

I have been praying that God would help me be more aware of His nudges and brave enough to carry them out.  

It didn't even hurt.

Thank you, Lord.
