Yesterday, we met up with our awesome friend, Art, for dinner in downtown Ft. Worth at one of his favorite restaurants to celebrate an early birthday meal for him together.
As we were “toasting” and “visiting”, we found ourselves chatting about the church we all attend, Fielder Church in Arlington. They had recently started a Wednesday night prayer gathering each week and since we now live in Allen, Wayne and I hadn’t yet been able to attend. As Art started sharing about it, our waitress quickly came up to our table and said, “Are you guys talking about Jesus? I LOVE Jesus!”.
She was amazing! Her boldness....the twinkle in her eyes....the love that radiated out of her....was nothing short of magical! We all felt it....and we felt we had just been handed a chunk of gold.
She then asked, “Can I pray with you guys?”. We were like “ABSOLUTELY!!”. She set her tray down on the next table and sat down next to Art, grabbed his hand and prayed. She prayed blessings over each of us....she thanked God for the blessing of this new friendship....and she thanked God for rescuing her when she had been lost in this crazy world we all live in.
And as my husband put it, "Was our waitress sent to bring Light to Art on the eve of Joyce’s (his late wife) birthday and by bringing a HUGE piece of lemon cake? Was the Light “literally” shining so bright on us at dinner that we had to move our seats?" Yes.
Webster's definition: "Angels…a spiritual being serving God especially as a messenger. 2 : a person who is very good, kind, or beautiful."
A nugget of gold she was.....and it reminded me of a scripture that my Mama Doris told me earlier this week:
“I could have no greater JOY than to hear that My children are following the truth.” 3 John 1:4
