Today I did a job at/in someones home. They were renters in their mid 20's. I met them at the home, and we walked toward the house, and as we did I smelled mary j wana on them. There was 2 men, one woman, and one child around the age of my 5 yr old daughter. One man was married to the woman, and was the father I beleive of the little girl.
As I did my job, the men went upstairs, and shortly there after, I began to smell pot fill the air once again. The mother went upstairs a few times, while the girl was downstairs in the kitchen while I was working. This about ripped my guts out.
I didnt know what to do. Could I do anything besides pray?
Just "living it" isnt good enough for me, in situations such as this. I want to do more. I suppose maybe all I can do is pray for wisdom of how to shine a light in these situations.
I talked to a friend and he said "invite them to church". I dunno.... Im in there less than an hour sometimes. Its hard to connect in a short time like that. Part of me wants to return and try to say something.
The mother didnt even look like my picture of a pothead at all! And she was very nice.
As I left, the young girl was downstairs walking around brushing her teeth. I gave her a coloring book, where I had went outside to my vehicle to get it, and signed the back "Jesus loves you"
John 3:16. Its all I could think of to do at the moment. I gave it to her and left. She was very thankful, and I watched her show it to her mother thru the window as I was walking away. (Her mother had heard the door shut, and came back downstairs)
I have to do more. I can not pass by these opertunitities to introduce our Saviour. I wish I knew what to do.
