Day 131: Praying for Faith

We made it to Leeker's about 10 minutes before it closed. We'd just left our Christmas Eve service at church and were headed home to decorate Christmas cookies and send the kids down for bed. I bought some milk and some eggnog, and I asked the cashier if I could pray for her. After all, I said, tomorrow was Christmas.

She was young woman. Her badge said her name was Faith. That's a good name. But she was quite hesitant about me praying for her. "Right now?" she asked. No one else was in line. It was the two of us standing there. Finally she said OK, still reluctant. But I didn't give her another chance to back out. I just bowed my head and prayed for God's blessing on her at Christmas.
