What a wonderful story. You were used by God to bring others into His fold. People don't realize that everyone is a minister...a servant for the Lord. We are called to different ministries. If we listen to that call we will be doing what God has called us to do, and will be happy in that calling. We are also called to different things at different times. God may yet call you into the ministry. Regardless, you are a blessing to us here. Thank you.

A country preacher decided to skip services one Sunday to spend the day hiking in the wilderness.

Rounding a sharp bend in the trail, he collided with a bear and was sent tumbling down a steep grade. He landed on a rock and broke both legs. With the ferocious bear charging at him from a distance, the preacher prayed, "O Lord, I'm so sorry for skipping services today. Please forgive me and grant me just one wish -- make a Christian out of that bear that's coming at me!"

At that very instant, the bear skidded to a halt, fell to his knees, clasped his paws together, and began to pray aloud at the preacher's feet: "Dear God, please bless this food I am about to receive."
