Let’s continue my story. This night, as I walked my usual trail through the grassy area, I saw litter all over the place. Again remember, this was just outside a cafeteria area of the hospital, so loose napkins, straw sleeves and discarded wrappers were here and there all over the grass…real quick, deep inside, I sensed the Holy Spirit say, “Pick up the discarded items.” I knew there was a trash can right outside the cafeteria, so half asleep, I got off the concrete path and began picking up all that trash. Then I carried it all up the stairs, deposited it all in the garbage can and made my way to Beckie’s room.
The next night, the same thing happened. The Holy Spirit whispered, “Pick up all the discarded items.” Now I began to get a little self-conscious. What if someone saw me…it was 1 in the morning and yet there were always people around the hospital. But by God’s Grace, I didn’t care and I obeyed…talk about a willing heart and an open mind…or maybe it was because I was half asleep! But God knows I am a curious person…He knew eventually I would ask, “Why are You having me do this?” His response is still priceless…
