Keep Entertaining Angels and Sharing God's Love

Greetings in the merciful name of Jesus.

Most days, when I am traveling to bring food or supplies to the rehab in Centinela, picking up mail or supplies in Texas or bringing families to the doctor, I see people walking along the road and most of the time, I offer them a ride. It has been a blessing and I've never had a really bad experience doing that.

Yesterday, I was at the laundromat in Del Rio and when I took my clothes back to put them in the car, an elderly gentleman was sitting with his laundry in canvas bags and I asked him if he needed a ride. He said, "Yes, please."

He had been waiting for a ride for awhile and his apartment was only a few blocks away. He had a walker and told me he was 78 years old, living with his brother who was 10 years older. 

I gave him a ride and unloaded his laundry into his apartment as he maneuvered his walker up the step and into his home. I told him good bye and even though we didn't even exchange names, he told me that he had been married twice and both wives had died some years before.

We never know how we can make a difference in the lives of those around us. It's so easy to lend a hand and if we are sensitive to the Holy Spirit, we often feel that tug to do something to help others. 

I have picked people up along the road on my travels to and from visiting my family, and often get to hear their stories, what's going on in their lives and often I get to pray with them. 

Last month, I picked up a man on my way home that I passed on the road from Acuña to San Carlos. He accepted my apple and a cold bottle of water and when he got into the van, he started to talk.

I asked him his name, and told me his name was Julian Victor Manuel. I was tickled at this news, because Victor Manuel was the name of the first baby I delivered in Baja. It made me smile to think of that experience. 

After a few minutes, I asked Julian if he knew Jesus Christ as his Savior. He began telling me about his relationship with the Lord and was so excited about his experience, I was blessed just listening to his testimony. As often happens, I think I'm going to bless someone, and they end up blessing me beyond anything I can imagine!

Before I dropped him off in San Carlos, I prayed with him before he headed walking down the road. When I asked him where he was headed, he said he was going to catch a train. 

I pray the Lord's protection and provision for Julian, and that God will guide his steps along his journey.

Keep looking for ways to bless others, and God will open doors for you. He is faithful and wants to use our lives for His glory.

Clinging to  the King,
