Today I was waiting outside the wholesale warehouse. Some veterans were collecting donations; they send care packages overseas. I walked out and they greeted me.
I told them I'd be waiting on a ride, and apologized in advance. "Don't worry about it!" He said "By the way, I love your t-shirt!"
I was wearing my navy t-shirt, with "IN GOD I TRUST" boldly emblazoned above and American flag. Always good for a national holiday. I don't exactly hide my light under a bushel! I grinned and waited.
About 10 minutes later, I got a prompting from God to give them some candy (I hand out bags of candy with Scripture booklets. Sub Bible for Scripture booklet and that's the rest of what I do.) I aim to be obedient. I got to bags of candy with the booklet and handed them over.
They thanked me very kindly and the man dove right for the booklet. Rarely, I get some odd reactions when they see it's a "Jesus" item. I tensed.
"Oh, this is GREAT!" He said as he flipped through the pages. "I had a friend when I was a kid, used to hand out tracts. He's a minister now." He paused, then sadly continued.
"No one hands out tracts anymore."
