walkin2e -> A Special Gift for Mrs. Kelly (8/14/2008 7:53:18 AM)

Sometimes we tend to get down, and we need reminders of how much God cares for us.
Several years ago, I went to a consignment shop. As I looked around, my eyes were drawn to a little pot that held some white plastic daisies. A button was on the pot's side, so I pushed it, and the music of the song, "In the Mood", began to play, and the daisies danced around. The Lord impressed upon me to buy this, so I did.
When I got back home, the Lord told me to go give that little flower arrangement to my elderly neighbor, Mrs. Kelly. She was a widow woman whose husband had passed several years ago.
I went to her house, knocked on the door, and said, "The Lord has a little present for you". I pushed the button on the pot, and as the music began to play, and the flowers began to dance, Mrs. Kelly began to cry. She then said, "That song was the first one Jim (her late husband) and I danced to, and today would have been our anniversary. I told the Lord that I missed him so much, and this is a reminder of the love we had for each other. I know I'll see him again one day".
A few years later, Mrs. Kelly went on to be with the Lord. I wrote a story about her called, "The Good Neighbor". May be read here: http://www.articleslog.com/2006/07/04/25547-the-good-neighbor.html
James 1 v 17 "Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning."
