As I walked to my car on Saturday morning
I watched a very touching moment.
At first glance you will see a woman talking with a man.
As they stand in the driveway
she puts her hand to her forehead to block the sun
as she looks up into his eyes.
He glands down and shakes his head.
A moment later he takes the paper she is holding.
She watches as he goes to stand by the door.
Then she walks away.
Now in the Pro Life movement from a distance this is progress.
The material got into the hands of a man
who has brought a woman for an abortion.
And that is cause for praise and thanksgiving to God.
But I happen to know the woman. She is very quiet.
She actually has a hearing problem, so talking with strangers
can be somewhat of a challenge for her.
I got out of my car and walked over to where she now stood.
We talked for a few minutes about the police cars
that had come by earlier in the morning.
Then she shared with me, her visit with this man.
It seems that he walked over to her
and he said “I tired to talk her out of it."
My friend talked with him for a minute then listened
as he said it again, “I tired to talk her out of it.”
She realized that this man did not want to be there.
He did not want to be a part of what was happening.
And he desperately did not want to be inside that building.
When she offered him the information
to show his friend he said he would.
but he did not go right back in.
Maybe she was already in the back
and he could not get to her.
I do not know.
But what I do know is a casual glance
will never tell the whole story
of two people meeting in a driveway
for only a few moments.
That time gave this man
a chance to share his heart.
My friend offer him prayer and kindness.
She was a place where he could go
and speak his feelings.
She was able to remind him of God’s love.
She was where God needed her to be.
Her tenderness made her the right
person for this man.
Could you be the next right person?
Could you come out an
pray for an hour?
