Christmas Shopping

 

 

December 18       seven days to Christmas from my journal

 While Christmas shopping Joy saw a young mother struggling with two little girls. She was speaking sharply to them. I said to those girls “aren't you fortunate to have such a nice Mom who brings you shopping with her.” Walking down the aisle I heard the woman address her girls in a pleasant tone of voice.

 “That was God using me to reach that young mother." Joy mused, "God wants to use us to give words of encouragement."I can do that I thought. Who can I serve with encouraging words today.

 "Whoever desires to become great among you, let him be your servant.”(Matthew 20:26)
