Yard Sale

June 20

This isn’t your typical yard sale. All he owns is in the front yard. He is desperate and broke.

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 we painfully watch his belongings sell for a fraction of their worth. The phone rings and he runs inside. 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, "You know who pompted the 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)
