Sunday, May 4
Do not confuse these pictures with Make-A-Wish ~ Lancaster ~ which was held today. I will post those pictures later in the week.
The convoy of trucks near Gettysburg began promptly at 1:30 p.m.
I will only post a few pictures of the trucks to show you a bit of the variety.
Coming out of the parking lot.
The fire trucks made lots of noise.
Just as there was a variety of colors and styles in the fire and EMT vehicles, there was a variety of truck colors and makes.
This driver followed us into the lot earlier in the day.
After the parade ended, we went back to the chapel.
This was the busiest time for us.
A highlight of the day for me was talking to a man who stopped in to see the chapel ~ because he saw it on his late morning walk. He didn’t even know about Make-A-Wish.
He came inside because he “felt” that he needed to stop in. After I explained a bit about TFC’s ministry, he asked if he could sit in the living quarters and read.
He spent a long time reading. When it got cool in the mid afternoon, I went inside the chapel and sat down just inside the door. He came to talk to me, saying that after reading some of the literature on the chapel he came to realize how far he had wandered from God.
We talked a bit. However, he wasn’t free to tell me about his current, spiritual struggle. He said he needed to read some more. He told me enough that I know he had once walked with the Lord.
Though Cerwin and I prayed with him before he left the chapel, he did not make a commitment to turn his life around, but I could sense that the Lord was truly working in his life.
Pray for Graham.
Meeting Graham was truly a “God-Thing” and I love when that happens.
I love telling people about Transport For Christ ~ but even more I love telling them about the power of Jesus Christ.
I will pray for Graham and I love “God Things” Blessings for your week.
Thanks, Jill.
