God surprised me again! Two times!
First, I have been praying all year for our building friendship with next door neighbors, especially that they might grasp that they can have a close friendship with the Father.
Yesterday I stood with the grandmother in her yard--after passing out a flyer to the Friday block club. She volunteered, "I'm getting cataract surgery, and I'm a little nervous about it." I asked her, "Can I pray for you about this?" "Sure." So I prayed out loud right there. "Thank you," she smiled, maybe a little stunned at being brought so suddenly into the High King's presence. She was extra friendly all day. First opportunity I ever had to pray for them!
Secondly, I went walking early again with my friend. Today she asked me a big question! After reading some materials from an atheistic friend who said, "There is no proof that Jesus lived!" she wondered if I knew anything on that subject. I said I'd check with Bruce and let her know. First time to have her open up with a serious question! We talked more on other issues, too.
(By the way, her interaction with the man who was repairing at the "prostitute" house went well as he is not the landlord and agrees with her about the problem there.)
Walking on,
Carolyn
