Hey Pastor John,
I really loved the meeting tonight. What really touched me the most was when you were talking about being a light and letting it shine for others to see. Main reason for this is because of an experience from yesterday. Margo, Allison, and I went to the driving range to practice, since both Margo and Allison have an interest in golf. A guy was walking past after I had changed out of my work clothes. He said, “You had the same idea, too!” We shared a quick laugh, and I went on about our plan for the night. Well, what I didn’t know was that he was watching and observing Margo and me interacting while practicing. As well as me helping give her tips and pointers, which also at same time allowing her to learn on her own. When we were leaving, he pulls up next to me and says, “Hey, I really enjoyed watching you and your wife tonight. The way you interacted, and let her do her thing as well, was really nice to see. I wish my wife could be more like yours.” His name is Tommy, and we chatted for several minutes. I really appreciated him saying that to me because I have felt like my light was going dim. It gave me a confidence boost that Jesus knew I needed. I am very thankful Jesus used a man to tell me to keep shining.
Just goes to show that somebody is always watching and paying attention to how we carry ourselves, even when we don’t notice it. I just love how Jesus puts us in the right place at the right time because that little piece of light could be encouragement for someone to want to ask questions, and really get that desire to seek the truth.
Good bye for now.
Alex
