I have to admit I was reluctant to spend time with her on this day.My son and his wife were home and we had a very busy day at the office.She was so needy.High blood pressure,overweight,depressed and blood sugar levels off of the chart.We went by Walgreens to get the prescriptions filled-it would be 30 minutes.Of course I will pick them up later no point in tying up the whole day.Then she said she hadn't eaten the whole day and without thinking I said how about Chick-fil-a. I have written before about Gods call to "feed my sheep".It is never convenient and it is never easy.Is 30 minutes too much to give a fellow human being?No doubt it was a Devine appointment.Most of us will get dressed up tomorrow in our Sunday best and look forward to an inspiring sermon and angelic music.Hellen will be sitting alone waiting for the phone to ring.The only thing under my control was this day ,this moment.I realize every day how loved and how blessed I am.Now I am face to face with one who is not as loved and not as blessed as I am.So I try to encourage her.Give her a hug and tell her she is loved.She is crying as she gets out of the car not because she is sad but because another person cares about her and that is so rare in her life.We make things so complicated He says Love and if you love Me "feed my sheep ".I promise Him I will do better with that in the future.I also realize my Easter sermon arrived a little early this year thanks to Hellen.
