After Many Days — Part 2
“Cast thy bread upon the waters: for thou shalt find it after many days” (Ecclesiastes 11:1).
The lady’s name was Petra, and later we met at a fast-food restaurant where, over a light snack, she told us a little of the many difficulties she had experienced in her Christian life. She told Garvin that his godly influence during her childhood had really been used of the Lord, and that while she did not appreciate it at the time, she could look back with a thankful heart for the guidance and discipline she had received under his authority in the school and classroom. She also told us that she had been praying that the Lord would somehow supply her with gospel tracts and literature as she could no longer afford to buy any due to the fact that she had lost her job some time ago. She went on to tell us that she had almost decided not to go out on the street that morning as she had so few things to hand out. However she felt prompted by the Lord to do so and to go ahead in faith anyway. We all realized that if she had not followed what the four of us believed was the leading of the Spirit, she would most certainly have missed us.
