Yard Sale

This isn’t your typical yard sale. All he owns is in the front yard, except his mattress. 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. Two hours later 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)
