A Changed Life

Last Friday when Kevin went out on the boat to Lisongwe Baptist Church he went alone. When returning he had some passengers with him that needed a ride to the bridge. It is hard work to put the boat together and take it apart by yourself. So, after putting it together by himself he was glad he would at least have some help taking it apart. When Kevin got out of the boat he stepped into a lot of mud so his sandals were quite muddy. He took them off and set them aside. He continued taking the boat apart, washing it, and packing it up. On one of the trips up the hill he noticed one of the passengers off to the side scrubbing something in the water. It was his shoes!!! Remember a couple of weeks ago, I wrote about a woman who was a prostitute and she became a Christian and was baptized? This is the very woman who now wanted to do something nice for the missionary. She couldn't help very well with the boat so she saw his dirty, muddy, and probably smelly shoes and washed them in the water. This is such a beautiful picture to me of a changed life. It also reminds me of a story in the Bible-does it you too?

What a great story!! I love it when God gives us real life examples that He mentioned in His word and we can see it in our daily life! Thanks for sharing! Praying for you!
