74 ~ A Walk Of Faith

By Kay Heitsch

I didn't realize it at the time, but now I see I was starting to walk by faith.

Others may not be like me, but when I find something that I like or has been helpful, I want to share it with others.

This new life, in a relationship with the LORD, was amazing! I wanted other people to experience it too. But I didn't know how.

One day, I had the thought of ordering booklets from the Peale Center. I knew how much Dr. Peale's books had meant to me, so I figured his positive booklets on different subjects would be helpful and interesting to others.

I bought a little brown plastic basket and put the little booklets inside. I kept this basket in our van. If I thought someone might like one, I gave it to them. When I went through the drive-through bank, I put one in the bank tube. I've had some very encouraging messages from doing this.

I also put them in the laundry mats, etc. I was excited to share things that had changed my thinking and life.

I'll admit there were times I felt the nudge to give someone a booklet, and negative thoughts came to my mind. Most of the time, I dismissed the negative thought and handed them a booklet anyway.

Now, looking back, I see I was starting on a faith journey. I was slowly learning to walk by faith.

I praise God for giving me the desire and nudges to share this amazing life that Jesus died to give me. It sure has been a walk of faith.
