Divine Appointment

Last night, I went to dinner with my son and his family. He picked a REALLY good barbeque restaurant near his home, and we got a waitress named Savanna to serve us. I asked how we could pray for her and she immediately squatted down and told me about her brother Sean, who had done 2 tours as a Marine Sniper in Afghanistan and was shot in the stomach. He recovered from the wound but was given a medical discharge as he was unable to continue as a combat Marine. He was offered a desk job, but Sean desperately wanted to be back in Afghanistan with his brothers in arms. So Sean declined the position and has been suffering from PTSD and began drinking. He is 30 years old and struggling. We agreed to pray for him, After praying, the thought popped into my heard that I should connect my good friend Charlie (Retired First Sgt from the Corps) and Sean. I was convinced that Charlie could help him, even if it was just via telephone. Charlie agreed to speak with him. I got Sean’s number from Savannah, and gave her a Gospel of John with a nice note written in the front. And it just so happened ☺ that I also had a Camo covered Gospel of John with me. I wrote a note to Sean telling him I’d be praying for him and gave him Charlie’s info so they could connect. Pray that the Lord will use Charlie to help this young Marine find eternal peace with a new relationship with Jesus Christ, and that his life will get on track.
