We ALL need a little good news now and again - ESPECIALLY now!
So I shared the story of what happened when my husband took me to the doctor the day, in his full camouflage military uniform, on facebook. There was such an AmAzInG response - I felt I needed to share it here as well!
****************************************************************************************************************
As we were getting ready to leave, my husband stood there dressed in his camouflage military uniform, getting ready to wheel me out in my wheelchair.One of the ladies in the waiting room called out to us and said,
"Thank you sir for serving our country."
This struck up a conversation between us. One thing led to another, and the woman said,
"Can I pray for you and for your safety?"
My husband nodded, "Yes."
The woman laid her frail little hand on my husband's shoulder, and began to pray
like the lady in the movie war room!
The entire waiting room came to a hush.
I sat there in my wheelchair, laying my hands on my husband as well, quietly agreeing in prayer. When she was finished I just said, "Amen"
Suddenly another older woman came shooting across the room. With a heightened tone in her voice she shouted, almost scolding us, and said,
"Did I just see you all praying over here?!"
I said, "Yes?"
The little (literally she was like 5 feet tall and weighed about 90 pounds and probably was about 90 years old to boot ) woman continued, she said,
"Then can you please tell me why you didn't come on over there and get me and ask me to join in with you and pray for this man? Don't you know there's power when more than one person joins in and prays?"
I apologized and explain that I didn't know she wanted to pray with us.
At that her daughter called her back to her seat and told her that she was embarrassing her.
THAT got her going all the more (little fire cracker)
Her mother told her,
THAT got her going all the more (little fire cracker)
Her mother told her,
"Don't ever be embarrassed to pray in public! You never know who may need a prayer and you never know when you may not be able to pray in public anymore!"
WoW
