As strange as it may seem, I was starting to see life differently. I'm sure it had a lot to do with Dr. Peale's books, Todd's death, my study of the Bible, and the people coming into my life. God was positively using all of these.
One day, a while after Todd's death, I was at the grocery store and noticed an older man who looked confused. Before this time, I'm sure I wouldn't have noticed him at all. Now, I walked over to him and asked if he needed help.
He looked at me with sadness in his eyes and told me his wife had recently died, and he wasn't used to grocery shopping. He said he was having a hard time finding the items he needed.
I shared with him that our son, Todd, had recently died, and even though I was used to going grocery shopping, it seemed harder at times now.
I see now that God gave me this opportunity to notice and help this man, and in return, it helped me too.
I praise God that He used Todd's death to open my eyes to other hurting people. As I helped them, God was helping me.
"Write down for the coming generation what the Lord has done, so that people not yet born will praise Him." Psalm 102:18
