From Eric Livingston:
The Harrells, Bearmans, and Livingstons shared lunch together Sunday afternoon. (The preacher said we were supposed to go out in pairs of families, but we don't do everything that guy says to do.) We had the 6 adults at one table, and 7 kids at another table. As I was trying to get the kids settled at their table in a seating arrangement that minimized cootie cross contamination, I looked at our waitress, who was standing nearby waiting patiently, and asked if she had any children. She gave me a nod and a knowing smile, as if to say, "Take your time; I understand."
She served us wonderfully during the meal, and we greatly enjoyed each others' company. Towards the end of the meal, both Lee and I mentioned to our waitress how thankful we were for her service to us, and said that we would like to serve her by praying for her. We asked if there was anything we could pray about for her. She said we could pray for her son, and for her as she tries to finish school, while working a full time job. I assured her we would pray for her, and she seemed deeply touched and appreciative. It was a rich afternoon, and I really saw how simple it can be to bless others through the ministry of prayer.
