Divine Appointments

Divine appt. Missed mailman this morning. So drove myself to a POB drop box. But enroute my journey took me past this handicapped gentleman in a wheelchair in freezing temps at a busy bs. intersection. My heart was greatly drawn to him, ached for him on so many levels, and tears flowed. Turned my car around, pulled into the corner gas station, rolled out of my car, 'cast' and cane in hand and hobbled over to this Marine Vet, dbl amputee... face-to-face, eye-to-eye..., slipped some cash into his everso cold hand, and said to him, "God Bless You, my friend." He was clearly moved. I hobbled back to my car a short jog behind him... not ready to leave... heart aching as he moved with his tattered sign in the windy damp cold back and forth from wheelchair to prosthetics. After a bit, he turned and noticed I hadn't left, then slowly made his way over my way, keeping a discerning distance. I lowered my window. He politely introduced himself, "My name is Daniel. Would you pray for me?". I answered, "Daniel, I already am." Daniel replied, "Thank you..." God's divine appointments surround us ... may our hearts and eyes be ever open to see them and let God love and minister through them, and be glorified.
