Vyncent and Anna

His Eye is on the Sparrow by Katie Sperry

Tonight, i stopped by the grocery store before returning home for the night and while there noticed a beautiful young black woman on a bench near the pharmacy. Her long black curly hair, her upset, tired, disappointed eyes told me a story as I spied the two children in the shopping basket. A toddler, a boy was seated in the seat of the basket, a baby girl in a carrier, was placed in the well of the basket, both looking as if they were up way after their bedtime. Obviously waiting for a prescription to be filled, the woman sat with her head down and her arms crossed in her lap. She looked up slightly and that's when it happened. You may think I'm a little nuts, but this is what happened then. When she looked up, such a sense of God's peace, love and longing to fill her need came over me, it literally felt as if I was drawn to stand directly in front of her, open my arms to her and say, "You look so tired, it's all going to be all right, the Lord says, it's all going to be alright." Inside I was as surprised as she was. Thinking to myself, "What did I just say?" and as soon as I did, I knew it was not me, but HIM.
Tears streamed out of her eyes and then mine, and the man seated next to her said, "Are you an angel?" I said, "No, but God has sent me over here to tell you both, He loves you so much and that He is going to help you. Trust in Him." With wide-eyed surprise registering in their faces, they proceeded to tell me that they had made a change recently, were genuinely sorry for living in ways that hurt them and were starting to follow Christ. They said my coming to talk to them this way confirmed to them that God had heard their prayers.
Humbled tonight by the experience, I am again in awe of the Father, the God of the universe, who is aware of you and I, as well as Vyncent, Anna and their little ones. That He cares and is near to the brokenhearted is certainly a truth to carry throughout this journey of life. 

God bless you all, kt

Chris & Sara

I met a homeless couple the other day. Their names are Chris and Sara. I don't know a lot about them, but I know they need prayer. They look like young people who just lost their way and now are trying to find their way back to a normal life. With a twenty dollar bill folded in my hand I walked to the cafe table they were seated at and asked, "Are you guys having a little bit of a rough time?" They stared at me in disbelief and nodded their heads. Chris said, looking at Sara, "This is our answer." I told them Jesus had moved in my heart to give them some cash. Sara, softly said, "I'm pregnant." I said, "The Lord sent me over here to give you this and to tell you that He is going to take care of you. He loves you very much." I placed the cash on the table. I hugged them and prayed with them.

What a blessing to bless them and to bless this little one about to enter the world. I thought I would tell you about this incident, only because I want you to pray for them.

So ... I am thinking about them tonight, wishing so much that I could have done more and now you are too. I know that prayer is the key to the closed doors of life and we can make a difference in the lives of others we bring before HIM. I'm spending time tonight on my knees for Chris, Sara and so many more in need, I am being bold and asking you to talk to the Father for others as well.

Blessings,
