Actually praying with people through out the coarse of my work day started for me nearly 3 years ago. That is when God answered a desperate prayer for a job, soon the opportunity to become a Little Debbie distributor was before me. No, I had never driven a big brown truck(UPS truck size) nor was I familiar with the men`s world of vending. At the age of 56 I stepped out in faith and gladly claimed, that if this is where God put me, I can do this. I told my pastor that I knew that God has me doing the job for more that just putting cakes on a shelf.
Everyday I cover miles of territory and meet lots of people. Praying with and for people fell into place. While in Chestertown, at the Family Dollar store I met Brandon and his grandmother. She was looking for a particular chocolate cake that Brandon liked. He was very sick and losing weight and the doctors couldn`t diagnose what was happening to him. I assured them that I would pray for Brandon, and I did, more that once.
Months and even years passed and I never ran into them again, nor had the clerk at the Family Dollar store seen them. I randomly prayed for Brandon wandering what had happened to him.
Today while I was busy placing my Little Debbie's on a shelf and young man stepped up behind me and asked if I knew where he could find a sun visors. As I do many times a days I told him that I didn`t work for the store, that I was a Little Debbie distributor.
About 15 minutes later this young man appeared again, still in searching for a sun visor. O.K, somewhat bothered, I stopped working and decided to help him. To my amazement this young man looked very familiar, sure enough it was Brandon. He had grown about a foot and looked relatively healthy. When I called him by name a sheepish sweet smile erupted. I felt such a feeling of peace and contentment. God had surely answered many prayers.
Brandon lead me to his grandmother, in the aisle we formed a prayer circle and praised God for this reunion, and His may blessings.
Proverbs 8:33-35 Listen to my instruction and be wise do not ignore it. Blessed is the man who listens to me, watching daily at my doors, waiting at my doorway. For whoever finds me finds life and and receives favor from the Lord.
Thank you God !
