Yard Sale

June 8

This isn’t your typical yard sale. All he owns except his mattress is in the front yard. He is desperate. When I arrive the first thing he asks is, “will you pray with me? I’m upset.” I ask the Lord to help my friend through this.

In the middle of the sale, the phone rings. He returns saying, “That was a lady who wants me to paint her house. I gave her a bid four months ago and she calls today.” My friend tears up and so do I. The yard sale is over.

“Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.”
(Matthew 11:30)
