Friday on my mind


It's Friday. So much has happened this week.
Importantly: I forgave someone.
My company did not get the next big thing.
John announced formally that he is leaving.
I worked hard at work and even harder on my home.
Story #1.

Hugs. How important are they? Why do we cringe sometimes from hugs?
I am wondering about how much we pray. Do we ever pray enough?
I heard a story about a preacher man who was in a hotel with his son and it was this preacher man's practice to tip the maid; feeling that the maid was an underpaid & overworked human. This preacher man also had conducted an informal survey of tipping. Christian tipping and how restaurant workers of
America preferred not to work Sundays since the church going crowd after worshipping and learning to live like Christ would go out to eat and leave meager tips. So the preacher man and his son were leaving said hotel and the preacher man discovered he only had one 10 dollar bill. It was his practice to leave a tip mind you but not generally a 10 dollar tip and since this was the only cash he had he was reluctant to leave it. So being contemplative of what to do...the preacher man and his son prayed. Prayed as to what they should do....leave the 10 or go their merry way. Upon completion of the prayer the son said; "Dad, sometimes it's more important to take care of other people" and it was decided.
P R A Y E R works.

How will anyone ever know you are a Christian???
Is it important for others too know????
