Peanut Butter Pie: How I Hear HIM – by Carolyn Hamblin

All Member Stories, Service, The Spirit/Promptings

Whenever I am going through my day, if something pops into my head, if it excites my heart, I will do it. Example: I was mowing my backyard and I thought, “I need to meet my neighbors that just moved in.” I kept mowing, and my next thought was, “Make them a pie.” My heart was full of joy. So I did make them a peanut butter pie. When I was done, I saw them in the back yard playing with their friends. I walked out and handed them the pie over the back fence. We introduced ourselves and now we talk on a regular basis. I will make extra treats when I am baking and take them some. This is just one example. I know God gives me chances to show love. If they ever ask why, I am ready to spread the Gospel of Christ. I just want them to trust me and see that I am not a threat to them. That will open us up to help each other when needed. I believe nothing bad comes from good.
