Today as I was in the back of my truck in the parking lot at Dollar General, in Smyrna, De. a man came up to the open rear doors and started talking to me. He asked how many miles I got per gallon, I told him about 8. He thought that perhaps a step van such as mine could be easily used for a motor home. However, the milage facts changed his mind.
He noticed my company name and Earleville address on the side of my truck; he told me that he liked that part of the country and had a post office box there. Then he asked if I knew anyone that would be willing to rent a room in the Earleville area. I couldn`t think of anyone off the top of my head.
As we continued chatting, he said that he`d been living in his van; he also suffers with congestive heart failure. I did mention to him a shelter, Clarivaux Farm that houses people and families in transition. He was excited as I wrote down the name of the farm and drew him a map from his new post office in Earleville.
As he began to walk away, I asked if I could pray with him. Sonny agreed, we joined hand as I prayed. Not really sure if he had any relationship with God, I tried to pray in such a way that would assure him of God`s unconditional love and forgiving grace.
John 3:16 For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
