FREE WASH
What a beautiful morning, I woke up. The sun was shining bright. Here I was lying in my bed in this new town the Lord led me to. I said “Ok God what is on the agenda today? First on the agenda was to get out of bed and have that morning coffee on my beautiful patio. As I sipped on my coffee, I thought of the day ahead and what should I do.
You see I am struggling. The relationship I was in for 2 ˝ years had just ended. I had been feeling much pain the past few weeks. However, I know how awesome God is and he will love me, comfort me, heal me and continue to provide for me.
I threw on my sweats and headed out to pop in to see one of my friends from work who was meeting with another gal from her church. They were getting together in God’s house to brainstorm for ideas on how to reach out to families and youth within their church and the community.
Man that Sandy sure whipped up a great omlette! As we sat and munched on our toast and enjoyed the delicious food that God provided, we chatted about our spiritual gifts that God has placed in each of us. We ended the morning in prayer.
I headed out in my little neon down the highway. God sure is blessing me with my little car that has 115,000 miles on it. I went through the traffic light- green of course.. (I have been known to be daydreaming and go through a red one now and then!).
It is then I saw the sign. A young gentleman was waving it on the side of the highway-Free Car Wash! I drove on by and a voice spoke and said turn around. I turned around and pulled in. There waiting for me was a group of young kids with huge smiles on their face surrounded by loving adults. They got my car park where I needed to be. I got out and started talking with one of the women. As we struck up conversation, the kids were busy washing my car. They washed it down, soaped it up, scrubbed the bugs off and then gave it a good rinse. I then had to get in and move it to the next stop. At this stop, there was a bunch of smiling cheerful young gals. Here is where they dried my car off.
These young kids and adults gave up their Saturday morning to provide a great bargain and show God’s love to the community. A free Car Wash for all!
You are probably asking yourself “Wow how often does that happen? A free car wash?
Well, let me share with you- It happens every day! What you ask? Yes every day!
You see Jesus washes us clean each and every day! He washes us down, soaps us up, scrubs the sins off of us and dries us off with his renewal and forgiveness!
Praise the Lord! We get a free wash each and every day! This group of young kids and adults provided a great service of the Lord today. They helped wash us clean. Free of charge, just like Jesus does. He does not charge us. No the washing we receive each and every day is free! Enjoy that blessing that is given to you!
