Missed Opportunity

Hello Spain Mission Team

I am looking for posts from Spain but haven't seen one yet... it is midnight here in Fremont on July 7th. That's why I am up at midnight... Im still on European time. Kim asked Karen, Tony, and I to do a brief report on our experience in Romania July 12th. A full report will be made when you return. Today was usher fellowship coffee at Panieras. I missed an opportunity in the parking lot this morning to minister to a person in need. As I was getting in my car, a woman called to me from 20 yards away asking for spare change. I had just given all my pocket money to a friend who is homeless who comes for coffee weekly, so I motioned back that I had no money. I should have gone over and offered to pray for her. She might have accepted. I thought of that as I arrived home, so I did pray for her then (and for me). I will look for her again on Thursday morning when the second group of ushers meets at Panieras. I can be pretty dense, it seems, in doing God's work. I am no longer amazed at how dense Jesus' disciples were at times. Rich, Joanne, Naomi, Steve, Virgie, Helen, and Mark... pray for me here at home, as I pray for you.
