What are you depositing?

Today my paths crossed again with a woman I haven't seen for over 20 years.

 

This joyful occasion reunited a young, and at the moment depressed,  twenty something kid

 

With a joyful woman whose words pretty much saved my life on that day...

 

You see on that day we last spoke, I was down on myself and on life, and felt like giving up.

 

With a one way bus ticket in my back pocket to pretty much no were ... well actually I was heading to New York and do nothing but hang out,

 

find myself, discover myself, Sound familiar?  I was pretty much in my mind was going to go and just squander my life away with no direction, but just hang out.

 

And add to excuses to do nothing else with my life, grant it, I had a rough and tough life, set backs, let downs, disappointments,  you name it I'd gone through it.

 

My full story can be found in my book at www.Noexcuseforfailure.com .

 

This lady took time to speak into my life, deposited hope, told me no you are not a failure, and God has a plan for your life.

 

After an half hour after I ran out of excuses, I discovered, yes I am special, yes my life matters, and yes I'd better listen to what she was saying.

 

I did, and that one conversation which ended with prayer as she prayed God's favor to be upon my life, changed not only that day, but my entire life.

 

It was that evening after all this took place early that day, I turned my Greyhound ticket in and decided to go to church, and that is where I met a stranger, that became my best friend, and eventually is now my wife.

 

I can not express how important this woman who is now up in age was, and is to me, for she took the moment to make a deposit that changed and saved my life.

 

Question?  What have you deposited in someone else's life today?

 

Find the time to invest in someone that may seem insignificant, the return may just be priceless!
