I went over to Georgetown to meet with the theater manager today and when I got back to get in my car there was a guy whose car was stalled--dead battery. As you know, I'm part of the junky car club. Our 95 Taurus has probably needed 25+ jump starts over the years. So I know the awkward feeling of trying to get people to help, so I offered before he even asked. He was incredibly grateful.
It was such a great reminder to me that kindness is such a simple way to share our faith. To be honest--I'm too busy or too distracted most of the time to see the opportunities that are all around me. But a simple jump start turned into a great conversation. I actually invited the guy to our new location in Georgetown and I think he may show up.
How much impact would we have if we simply played the part of the good samaritan?

A powerful reminder...thanks Mark!
A great reminder of a simple way to BE THE CHURCH. :)
One of the best examples I have see of God working in some different ways, Once I got in to a car accident (fender bender) due to pulling a trailer with a (Junk) ha-ha Truck in the rain, I hit the breaks a slid into a new truck. I was with a pastor. I was so mad at myself and started to freak out. He just got out of the car, and started talking to other driver about his relationship with Christ. I just sat there and listened to what he said to him. It was so on point for what I needed to hear. After it was all done, I asked him why did you do that, He stated "God must have stopped us for a reason, And that this person need to talk about him right then." I try to look for the little things.
