If only a bit of a ministry, I'm so glad to have this lil bit to hang on to. I've mentioned several times about how I see the same regular customers over and over. It is often a blessing!! You get to know them, and they you.
There's a guy who comes in who reminds me of my dad. My dad and I never had a good relationship. So I don't have great memories there. IDK why this guy reminds me of him, and in a good way. He's normally very quite, and not moody, but not nice. We were talking the other day and I asked how he was and mentioned that I hadn't seen him in a lil while. He told me he'd been in the hospital for kidney failure and is now on dialysis 3 days a week. By the time I rang him out, I told Him I'd be praying for him, and he said thank you. But When he was leaving he said "By the way, my name is michael." Each day when I see him I ask how he's doing. The other day we were 1/2 through his sandwhich and he said "I think your prayers have been helping." I have been praying for him since the night I told him I would. God is good. He is gracious, understanding, and gives us what we need.
There are other customers that I have genuinly been able to say I'd pray for them as well. I have to admit I have a hard time praying for myself regularly. And other things around me. But I've really enjoyed being able to pray for others.
It makes me think of the ministry I want to start some day. I don't quite know what that's going to look like, but I like that God's allowing my heart feel like He's using me :)
