Hopeful Story, July 19, 2015

  It’s quiet in the office this week (so very quiet after last week’s VBS excitement!). Pastor Peter is away, there hasn’t been much contact with people—it seems that lots of people are away—and I’ve been working away on catching up on things. Thursday morning I woke up wondering what the hopeful story would be this week. I talked to God about it and asked him to provide an idea. On Thursday afternoon, I received an email from a woman who comes to Hope Fellowship sometimes. She gave me permission to share it. Here is this week’s hopeful story:

  “Last Sunday I had car trouble. I felt especially stressed and forlorn because this was just one more thing to deal with. I had my hazards on and was about to start crying when a man pulled up immediately. He asked what the problem was and stopped to help.
  It was evident he knew what he was doing and I soon noticed his sunny disposition. He helped with a temporary fix so I could at least drive home. When he was done he mentioned my tattoo, the holy spirit emblem of a dove. I told him I was on my way home from church. So we got to talking and he also had just left church: Hope Fellowship in Courtice! I wasn't one bit surprised! I have visited there many times and have found the same warmth and love for God in many people there. Instead of crying, we were praising God in the street and thanking Him that He had brought us together that day!!
  This man actually radiated with love for God and I knew that one day I will see him again in heaven. It was a blessing to meet him.
  Please feel free to share my story with the church. Not only as a thank you to Mike but also as a testimony that Hope people are GREAT people!!”
