Do You Remember Me?

Do You Remember Me?  When I hear that question my brain hits the speed re-wind button and I try to relive that past 25 years in about 3 seconds.  Since my re-wind is needing to be re-minded, I rarely answer to the affirmative and must, in an embarrassed fashion admit, "sorry, I know I should, but I don't".  It happened today, in front of two new church planters that I am mentoring.  So much for the demonstration of great name and face recall.
As we talked, and my memory was refreshed, I came to learn that the lady we were talking to, had attended gospel film nights in front of our house, when she was a little girl about 20 years ago.  She also showed us a stuffed toy that she received from a Samaritan's Purse event we had.  Another God moment was when she told me who her father is.  He is a man who has begun attending our church on Sundays, attends a cell group on Friday nights and cut our grass just this morning. 
For the last five years, The Good News Church has held an evangelistic outreach in this ladies neighborhood during Holy Week.  We will do so again this year.  However, our missions committee has targeted this area of our city as a possible site for a new church with the two church planters that I accompanied today. 
As we conversed, I had several thoughts.  First, a stuffed toy and some gospel films left a positive impression in the mind of this lady.  Secondly, is it possible that God has been working in this ladies life for the last few years for such a time as this?  Could she and her family become part of a new church to be born. 
Do You Remember Me?   "I'm sorry, I know I should, but I don't, but evidently God does, and that's what matters."

BTW... Thanks to any of you who have supported Samaritan's Purse or similar ministries.
