Testimonies & Thoughts

As I am organizing my "God Stories" and thoughts, I am sharing them online for the Lord to use however He sees fit. I want others to know how my relationship with God works, so they may glean wisdom (practical nuts and bolts) from my experiences (and I have been blessed to have quite a number of "tragedies" occur in my life that have led me to a deeper relationship with God that I do not believe I would have otherwise).

May all know God is real, proclaim Jesus as their Lord and Savior, and embrace the life God has planned for them.

We're paying $17/hour for a personal attendant for my husband, Scott, (who is currently recovering as a quadriplegic from an injury 3 months ago), and I only have a few short hours to do tasks that could take me weeks on end. Joe was sitting in his usual spot, on the lobby couch, as the cheerful greeter to all who pass by him. (Joe is an older man who uses a walker and has a hearing aid. I would guess he is in his eighties.) As I zipped past him, he smiled and waved, and I waved back and said, "Hello!". I walked just a few steps when I heard my thoughts, " Give him a hug ." "What?" "Give him a hug." "I am not going to give him a hug. He'd think I'm crazy. I hardly know this man. Oh.... this must be from God. I just need to do it.
