It was this past Sunday morning at our local coffee shop which is also a store and gas station.Sitting there with friends as usual a really big black man came in the coffee part and started reading what appeared to me as some google directions.I couldn't hear it all but enough to understand he was lost and needed a little explanation as to where he was or something of the sort.Several of the local blacks tried to help with his problem and from looking at his face when he left I could tell he just might need a little more than what he had gotten.Well I got up and went out behind him and ask him could I possibly help him any way and he said he was trying to get to Tallahassee,Fla.His daughter was with him and was starting to school there in college.He felt like he was lost.Well suggesting to him to walk over to my truck where I had a Ga.map,I could show him where to go and get corrected.I showed him where he was and the correct route to go to get to Tallahassee.
As he shook my hand and thanked me he says "are you going to church today"?I said I wasn't ,but that was another story.Next he says "can I pray for you,will you let me pray for you"?I immediately said please do and I would appreciate it.Up walks another friend of mine to see what is happening I guess and the man told him "put your hand right here".Meaning to lay his hand on his arm,which he did.The man then prayed the most beautiful prayer,addressed God as "Father God".He prayed for blessings,health,and care to name a few.It was more than awesome.There we were right out in the parking lot of the station with people going both directions.His prayer was in detail and not short by any means.
This was such an awesome happening,I just wanted to share it with as many as would read.How many times have you had this to happen from a total stranger in a parking lot and not know who nor anything about the person?Without a doubt,Blessings come in different packages.
