Seeds

This is a true story.

A couple were out for a walk along the city's waterfront, when they came across a young lady who was looking for her keys. They continued walking, keeping a close eye out for the lost keys.

The gentleman then suggested that they offer the young lady a ride home so that she could get her spare keys.

The young lady wasn't sure where her spare keys might be, so it could take some time to find them while they wait for her.

That's fine, they said... But they did need to get to their Bible study on time!
The young lady asked what church the couple went to, and when they told her, she said that she had some friends who had gone to that church to take the Alpha course. She was also interested in attending Alpha, and she had been reading her Bible.

Isn't it interesting how God can use us through a simple act of kindness? God was already at work in this young woman's life. The Christian couple, aware of and receptive to the opportunity to respond to a simple need in a simple way, were in the right place to plant--or perhaps, to water--a seed.
