I'm sharing a Smile
I’m sharing a smile with you today.
This woman smiling has put more smiles on my face than I can count. She doesn’t even have any idea her impact on my life, I’m sure.
This lady, shared Jesus with me over 30 years ago! That phone call she made to me before I moved to Florida meant more to me than all the world.
I had been attending Bible study with her and some amazing ladies for over a year. We studied, prayed and talked and drank a lot of coffee
but, the prayer of salvation never happened until Heidi Burroughs picked up the phone and called me.
I can still remember staring at moving boxes and pacing and talking on my cordless house phone.
Heidi said to me; “The ladies and I needed to make sure you understood salvation before you move.” Truthfully, I hadn’t! I didn’t know what she was talking about when she said, “We need to know you are saved.”
The truth is, I was still lost!
After years of church and even Bible study… I was lost. But, not after that phone call.
Thank you Jesus!
A couple weeks ago, I visited NY for a funeral. Of course, Heidi was volunteering at the church where the funeral was held. Her servant heart is so beautiful.
This woman, got the biggest hug from me as I walked out of the sanctuary.
I hugged her so tight and thanked her again.
I thanked her for taking the time to call me and just ask, “Do you understand what a personal relationship with Jesus means? And do you know you are going to Heaven when you die?”
Oh y’all…… I cringe thinking what if she never called me?
What if I was still in the religious mindset that sitting in a church pew and showing up for bible group meant I was saved. I cringe thinking about that old religion I relied on.
I rejoice and smile and praise God right now as I look at Heidi’s smile. This lady means more to me than she will ever know.
Ladies, gentlemen, friends….who do you need to call? Who needs to be asked, “If today was your last day, do you know where you are going!”
That phone call can change eternity for someone. Actually; it may change a lot of people’s eternity.
I guess I just wanted to let you see the face of one of my living angels.
Thanks again Heidi.
