Costco

Yesterday, I ran into Costco for a few items.

I was in an especially joyous mood. I had spent a while soaking in the Lord presence at home with worship music playing from laptop. The presence of the Lord swept over me as I talked with the Lord. Eventually, my son needed to be picked up, so off I went.

The joy of the Lord went with me.

Later, at Costco, I passed a woman giving out samples. I stopped to try the new pre-cooked chicken burgers she was grilling on an electric cook top.

I thought I was going to leave her stand after grabbing the sample. I looked at her and suddenly the Lord began to tell me things about her.

I waited till people left her stand and began to tell her what the Lord had been showing me. She was surprised at first, then she started identifying with what I told her. The floodgates opened to say the least.

It was amazing how much she shared with a stranger based on what I told her the Lord whispered to me about her.

Eventually I prayed for her. She had been asking God something in particular in her prayers, so I asked the Lord to increase that to her. I prayed some things the Lord showed me to pray, then off I went.

I continued through Costco, after paying for my groceries I went into the eye center and had an eye check done.

The Optician identified as being one who prays but when I talked about asking the Lord to heal my eyes, he became silent. I did not push. I watch how open and receptive people are, especially when they are working.

I believe that it is possible to bless people under the Lord's direction, but I believe that one must be careful not to put a person in jeopardy by taking them from their duties to long. Call it market place etiquette.
