Yard Sale

June 8

This isn’t your typical yard sale. All he owns is in the front yard. He is desperate. He is broke, his rent is due, he needs medications and he has no food.

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. Go figure!"

I say, I think I know who percipitated the phone call. 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)

Will someone help this god fearing soul to post whatever he has left for sale on www.privategaragesale.com? I would gladly do it for him, but I have no idea who and where he is. It sure sounds like he could use some help.
I will pray for him tonight.
