I dropped my bride at Kohls and I headed to Family Christian to pick up some more $5 Bibles with the gift card I was given for Christmas. Took a quick nap in the truck and decided to go sit on the bench in front of Kohls and wait for my bride. She had a $10 coupon to spend.
I sat down and a few minutes later, a young man and I am guessing his mother stopped in front of the bench. The young man pointed to the bench to sit down by me. They were talking in sign language. I said, "Sure". I had already marked up one of the new Bibles by writing inside the cover, FREE GIFT, turn to page 198 (John 3:16) to receive your free gift. Then, I put the address of this blog. I gave the Bible to him and pointed to the wording FREE GIFT on the inside cover.
I wrote on the back cover, "What is your name?" He wrote back, "James". Interestingly, I am studying the book of James for the next Fresh Connection gathering and it was fresh on my heart. I hope I remember his name correctly, as he has the Bible with writing now. Not me. If I got the name wrong, my apologies and if you are the young man, feel free to correct my story. I'm smiling.
James was pleased with the gift and I was pleased in giving it. I am praying God's richest blessings on James and his family.
