Today my granddaughter, Madison, and I spent the afternoon together. She rode a horse on a trail ride, and I enjoyed a visit with an old friend I haven't seen in many years. After her ride, we toured Helen, Georgia. Something I haven't done in a very long time and something Madison hasn't done at all. We enjoyed our afternoon meandering in and out of the shops.
Madison wanted to see the tarantula museum and I opted to have a cold soft drink outside at a picnic table while she took the tour. It is while I was having my cold drink, a very nice lady came over to talk to me. She and members of her church were Gideons, and it was their ministry to give out New Testaments. She gave me one. I gladly accepted it, but I told her I was already a Christian and expressed my delight in her mission. Ms. Mary is from South Georgia and is a member of the Baptist church in her southern town. We shared our religious backgrounds since both of us were Baptist.
It was nice to meet her and I applaud her and her husband and friends as they walked the streets of Helen and talked to people. You see my brother Dwayne is a Gideon and I am very proud of his participation in this ministry of getting Bibles into the hands of the public.
Ms. Mary and I enjoyed our exchange this afternoon. I may not see her again her on earth, but I know without a doubt we will meet again. She is a dear lady doing the work God has called her to do.
It is me again, Lord, thanking you for folks like Ms. Mary, her husband and friends, and my brother Dwayne who have been called to share the Gospel by giving out Bibles.
A little Georgia Wisdom: If you don't have a personal relationship with our Lord, I pray you will accept Him as your personal Saviour. All you have to do is ask Him to forgive you of your sins and come into your heart today! You will be glad you did.
