So with a huff, I gave up and put the paper down. After some small talk, I found out he is about to retire, but has health issues. Internal bleeding that the doctors thought was an ulcer, but after a week of testing still not sure. He got up to leave and I asked if he tried prayer, he said yes and thanked me and walk out.
Suddenly, I felt like I was slapped on the side of the head and had a strong urge to get up and go pray with him. I jumped up and caught him in his truck. I asked his name (it was Robert), and said Robert can I pray with you. He said sure. I prayed for healing and guidance for his doctors. He left with a big smile and I guess I was grinning from ear to ear also. I have never prayed with a complete stranger, let alone in a Dunkin Donuts parking lot, but here's the rest of the story.
Before I left for dinner I just ordered Bill Hybels "Just Walk Across the Room" for my connect group because I felt like one of my biggest weaknesses is sharing my faith with strangers! Wow, thank you God for that revelation in a Dunkin Donuts parking lot!
A side note: starting Saturday Feb 7th, Tracey and I will be hosting a connect group. As mentioned above the subject is Bill Hybels' "Just Walk Across the Room" It is a 4 week study and the dates are Feb 7th, 28, March 14th and March 28th 6:30 at our house.
