Need Prayer? No Purchase Necessary. Just Sayin'



I requested prayers for my pain and stiff right leg this week. It did not matter how I felt this morning at the playground at Coulon Beach in Renton, Washington before worship service this morning. There was joy surrounding me as I played in the kids' park on the motorcycle.

My coffee maker and iron gave out after many years of use this past week. Fitting in my budget, I stopped by the Renton Walmart. I found a parking space far out in the lot. A young man asked me if I was okay because I limped as I walked towards the store's entrance. I said, "I am fine." I thanked him.

When I left the store with my purchase, I noticed a sign on a popcorn fundraiser: "Need Prayer? No Purchase Necessary. Just Sayin." I slowly walked towards the parking. I then walked back to the side of the awning closest to the store. The man offered help. I mention his sign about prayer. He asked about my prayer request. I briefly explained about my leg and believing in a miracle all of these years.

He prayed and it was heartfelt and beautiful and no purchase was necessary.
