Continued my journey south on route 69. Traffic was heavy and no one stopped for a long time and then a car passed me, stopped and then circled around in an open area and came up from behind me. A woman called me over and handed me a $20 dollar bill and to my amazement I heard myself say, "No, keep it but I have something for you." The jaws dropped on Jeannie Lee and Devon. They probably never had anyone not want their money before! In fact, Devon, a twenty-ish young woman with beautiful big eyes seemed to be in shock most of the time Jeannie and I were talking.
I asked them if they had a DVD player and when they said "Yes," I gave them a Zacchaeus DVD. They told me they were on their way to see Jeannie Lee's mama in the hospital. It was expected to be a time of passing. Jeannie asked for prayer and so I took her hand. When we finished, Jeannie squeezed my hand, closed her eyes, kissed it and pressed the $20 bill into my hand..."Please," she said. As I glanced at Devon I noticed her eyes were brimming with tears.
As I left I felt exhilarated! God had done something beautiful. Those two women were touched by His majesty and I got to play a small part. As I walked along the road I began to shout "Yahweh" and sing loudly in a cadence that reminded me of American Indian chants. It lasted for a few minutes and then I stopped. My spirit was quiet and I felt like I had entered a sacred place.
Thank You, God, for sending your beautiful daughters to touch my life. Though they may think they were blessed...allow them to see what a blessing they were to me.
