Answered prayers

Yesterday at Ladies Bible study, pastors wife,Sue, said that we would be putting some prayer requests on a sheet of paper and then each of us would pray secretley for the person who we drew out of the basket. I shared my burden to witness and be bold at the Manor. A lot of lost , hard and synical sinners there. My prayer has been to show Gods love and NOT gossip. Today I had an interesting conversation with a "gay"  man there. I apparently had offended him by my graciouse southern manners I learned while living in Texas, by calling him. "Mr"____.  He scorned me for calling people" Miss and Mr in  the kitchen  and the area of KImball....", and if State ever heard me call another employee that I'd be in trouble." (This I will check with my superviser in a confidential way)(In my LPN studies it is proffesional to call others Mr,Miss,Mrs so I will reread that and correct him if needed.) I was quite flustered  and angered at first, but as we did dishes I mulled over what he said. I had the courage to say. "Gosh ,________, I am just a simple christian girl and have never heard of  a "gay" person being offended to be called Mr, it was a term of respect and friendliness for me. I will not address you that way If it offends you." Now by this time the dishes were done and I was not able to talk more. and give him Gods view of sodomy...but I even though I was thrown a bit  by this graphic conversation. I was thrilled that someone had prayed for me today and God gave some boldness. I am excitied at future conversations. This is big for me dear friends. I am not bold.

Its a beautiful warm day here.

I've shared my heart.

Have a good day.
