His Answer Surprised Me

While getting paint at Wal Mart this past week I engaged in a conversation with the older gentleman behind the counter. He shared that this was the last full week of work for him since he was retiring. I asked him if he was going to enjoy fishing in this beautiful spring weather. He said yes but even more exciting to him was that he would be able to spend ALL of his time working for God within his local church and this community. He expressed that he saw many youngsters out and about town with no parental supervision and a need for Christ. He was going to get out there and tell them himself!

A surprising and refreshing response from someone of his generation. It was also a gentle reminder to look for the positive from the Church and to rest in the truth that God is in control.
