That's very encouraging, as well as entertaining. I am going to pray to Jah to "help me have a conversation with someone about spiritual truths" too. Idk always how to ask for help with preaching in prayer, esp since I don't engage in the formal house to house ministry. But I still report time and want to have a regular share in it, not so much for the "counting time" aspect, but because it's one of the few things that bring me joy to engage in, and it also gives me a lift from my often low mood- to know that I am being obedient to Jah, as to our preaching commission. Thanks for the inspiration.Yesterday before starting driving, I prayed to Jehovah to help me have a conversation with someone about spiritual truths. Many of the rides that I give are very short, only 5 or 10 minutes and often they gave earbuds and are preoccupied listening to their music or viewing their phone or talking on it. But one man who is just turning 30 years old wanted to talk with me. And, he asked me what my opinion was on the most impactful thing that one can do to have a happy life. He is afraid of turning 30 years old with no marriage prospects or family and he is apparently very unsure of what to do with his life. It was a great opportunity to plant a seed but it was almost like an elevator speech as far as timing and I had to think fast.
I told him that the most impactful thing in my opinion is to develop a deep relationship with our Creator and that is the only one we can truly count on to give us good direction. He then asked me if I was a christian and I said yes. He was asian and very possibly a Buddhist since that is common in Hawaii. I also talked to him about how I met my husband at a bible study and we have now been married nearly 28 years.
He then wanted to let me know about his failed relationships with women and then made the hysterically funny comment that he thought I was “smoking hot”. I simply replied, “Well that’s very embarrassing”. Then we arrived at his home and he exited the car. Just an ordinary experience but at least with a bit of humor.
