A couple of months ago, someone gave me a brand new pair of LL Bean Men's Tennis Shoes to take to the park. I decided instead of putting them out with all the other clothes items, I was going to pray over the shoes and ask God to bring the right person for the shoes to me. I was afraid if I put them out, someone was going to take them and sell them on the streets for alcohol or drugs. The shoes were still in the original packaging so it was obvious they were brand new. Those shoes have gone to the park with me each week but have not left the back of my Explorer...until today!
As we were about to start serving the food, a man walked up to me and asked me if I had any shoes. I asked him what size shoe he wore, and he told me a size 9,which is not a common size for a man's shoe. Guess what size tennis shoes were in the back of my car? I told him that I did and that if he was not in a hurry, I would get them for him as soon as we got done serving the food. He waited patiently on me as I continued to talk to everyone around me after the food was done.
When I brought the shoes to him, I told him the story about praying over the shoes and how I was waiting on God to give the shoes to someone. He started weeping. He shared with me how he had prayed earnestly this morning that God would supply him with some shoes! He just got a job 3 days ago as a painter. The shoes he had on his feet were very old and the soles on the bottom had totally split. He explained how he was scared to death that he was going to fall off the ladder while painting since the sole and shoe were in two pieces.
I love to watch GOD GO!
His name is Bill Wilson. Please keep him in your prayers. He has been blessed with a job this week, a new pair of shoes and a new hope in God!
