I love having a front row seat on some VIPs in my life. My friend was miraculously saved in an accident on Interstate 35 yesterday, but not only her.
Her husband, her niece, five people from India, and several others survived what could have been a terrible accident. Three vehicles were totaled.
God is doing Big Things.
This friend told me an interesting story just the day before and gave me permission to write it here. I was inspired.
Her parents were medical missionaries. When her dad attended school in Chicago back after WWII there were three Japanese students they invited to their home for Bible study. These men were Buddhist.
The landlord of their apartment told them that he wouldn’t allow the Japanese to be in his property, so biased against the Japanese he was, after the war. He gave an ultimatum: move or don’t have them over.
They moved.
The Bible study continued. All three men became believers in Jesus.
One weekend they all trooped up to Minnesota to see the family and experience winter in this state. They went sledding, had a wonderful time.
On the way home they were asked, “What was the most fun thing this weekend?”
One of the Japanese gentlemen replied, “Seeing how your father treated your mother with such reverence and sweetness.”
This man went on to become the top executive of an oil company in Japan. Every single time he spoke at an event he shared about the sweetness of Christian marriage. He shared his faith.
Isn’t that a great story?
You never know what impact you may have on someone that reaches far beyond your own scope.
Your attitude, your character, your comportment matters.
You are watched.
For the KINGDOM!!!
MARANATHA!!!
