The Spokane Valley Mall...

It is truly amazing to us how God continues to touch our lives - Last weekend we were in Spokane for Taylor's hockey tournament. On Sunday, we stopped by the food court in the mall to get lunch before we headed home. After we all went to our separate food stops and were finally sitting together eating as a family, a man walked up to us and he didn't say hello or introduce himself - he simply said "Can i pray for your family right now?" We have NEVER had this happen to us before - let alone in a very busy food court! Lance and i looked at each other with shocked smiles on our faces and said "Sure!" We all bowed our heads and he said the most touching prayer for our family asking God to bless us and to bless our daughter and how thankful he was that we had brought her into our Christian family so we can raise her as a Christian and bring one more of Jesus children to him! - i don't think i have his exact wording but that was the gist of it. We said thanks to him and asked his name (Jim) and thanked him again - we really weren't sure what else to say. Then Jim and his wife left - i guess they were sitting next to us but we didn't notice them in all of our commotion in getting our food etc. We were/are so touched by this man's simple prayer and gesture - Thank you Jim (where ever you are! :)) And thank you God!
