• the checkout women and bag boys at the grocery
• the UPS man who delivers packages to her door
• servers in restaurants and shops<
• children in the lobby of the movie theatre
• the man who came to cut down a tree
• the AAA man who helped her with her car
• the girls behind the counter at the dry cleaners
• her Jewish pharmacist and the ladies at the florist
• the plumber who fixed her broken faucet
• the nurse who cared for her in the emergency room
• the rough and tumble man in the pickup truck who wandered into her driveway by mistake.

And on, and on, and on. Hundreds of people getting a warm smile, an encouraging word, and a little booklet from an ordinary housewife who's made herself available to a great God who's "not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance." Who knows what new chain of events will someday be traced back to her simply being available?

(I know about my dear friend's experiences because she shares them with me each day when I come home from work. After more than 40 years of marriage, Susie remains the love of my life and the greatest influence on my spritual growth as she models the Christian life for me. I am so proud of her!)

We know that "the eyes of the Lord search back and forth across the whole earth, looking for people whose hearts are perfect toward Him, so that He can show His great power in helping them" (2 Chronicles 16:9 LB). When God's eye falls upon you  and me  will He find us available?
