Greetings My Friend,
My faith has developed enough that I am attempting to make a better focused attempt at witnessing for Jesus. In the past I was silly, at a check out register I would blurt something along the lines of " At least this husband doesn't beat me," then I would indicate that I married a man who takes his walk with Jesus seriously. Once in awhile I met a person who was getting out of abuse or has been out and I would say that Jesus is how I got out of my situation. My Parkinson's gives me moments where I find taking my toy poodle along helps me walk to the bathroom, gives me confidence if I am in a crowded situation and can't maneuver very well. Somehow I have a tendency to run a shopping cart into something whenever I am out so my driving even in the stores is a bit lopsided. Junior and I took Daisy along with us on our last trip to Johnson City, we have worked out a place for her to ride in where she is safe, a little basket with a towel under it on the boot of the truck. When entering the VA in JC Daisy was in the basket bottom of my walker, an old military man saw her sitting in the basket began fussing with her and talking with me. When he saw her he could not help but talk to me, the smile on his face was priceless. Later we went to a shoe store near the VA. I took Daisy in with me, this time I was more comfortable so when I asked the sales clerk for assistance she doted on Daisy. I told the clerk how she is a comfort to me, how when I had cancer God gave me God hugs from other people. We talked about what a comfort Daisy is, how she came along when my health was rather poor and how Daisy has brought me back to where I am now. I mentioned that she too is a gift from God then I asked her if she believed in Jesus. For one of my real solo attempts at witnessing God blessed me with a believer. I am grateful because as I work out a way of talking about Jesus with Daisy as a lead in this young lady wound up encouraging me. I do have a desire to tell about all that God has done for me and I am grateful for an opportunity to do so. May God bless you and keep you make His face shine on you. Love Janet
