So it is Sunday and today I am going to give out alot from Nursery to Nursing Home. From the one end of the spectrum (just learning to walk) to the other end (not able to walk well any more). Oh but so much walking was done by those in the last group. A whole lifetime of walking and living. Many of them faithful walking with Jesus walkers and some who haven't yet walked with Him but He continues to urge to come and do so before they reach their very last day on earth. And the first group are just getting started and we get to help them a bit on the way to walking with Jesus.
The last time the group who minister in the homes of the forgotten, as I think of them, there was a grumbley old man who was rough and hard by his words and demeanor. Nothing about him made a person want to hang around with him. Yet he came and sat in his wheel chair along the wall and when I stopped to talk with him and offer to pray he asked me questions about general stuff while hanging on to my hand. (one of my boys visited a nursing home in kindergarten and came home saying "I know one thing, when an old person holds your hand they never let go!") Eventually he began to tear up and soften and I was privileged to lead him in a prayer of repentance and salvation! Who but God knew that was scheduled for my walk that day....even though I should go expecting. We will see what today holds.
