While checking out at Wal-Mart tonight, I struck up a friendly conversation with the cashier, Stephanie. She was counting down the minutes to the end of her shift -- 36 to be exact. Stephanie handed me my receipt, and I handed a gospel tract to her, thanking her for her help. I told her it was a gospel tract and asked her if she had a Christian background. She said, "yes, don't you remember me? You gave me a coin last time. I told you that I went to ______ church ...."
Oh yeah. Now it started to come back to me. Stephanie was a believer that I shared with one of the last times I was at Wal-Mart. I had given her a coin that had the law on one side -- the 10 Commandments -- and the gospel on the other. She said a man come through the line some time after me that day who was very upset and angry about something. She said she gave him the coin, hoping that he would read it and repent and trust Christ for salvation. She said he took it and put it in his pocket. Hopefully he read it and acted upon it.
I encouraged Stephanie to keep passing out tracts and sharing the gospel and gave her some extra tracts, the Obama Million Dollar Bills. Hopefully I'll remember Stephanie the next time I go back and will find out how she's doing with her fishing and sowing seeds!
