44 - Not A Normal Day

By Kay Heitsch

Most days without Todd were somewhat normal, but not this morning.

While I was studying the Bible, a strange thought occurred to me. This was the thought. "Go to the corn stand at the antique mall." I tried to dismiss this weird thought, but it persisted.

After the "Bury the bird" experience, I decided to pay attention. I put my Bible down and said to the Lord. "If this thought is coming from You, I will go. If it's not, I won't tell anyone."

I had never been to the antique mall. Plus, I had no idea if there was a corn stand there. However, once I rounded the corner by the antique mall, there was a corn stand in the parking lot.

I wasn't sure what to do. So I reached down and grabbed one of my positive booklets that I carried in the van.

I walked up to the counter and handed the girl the booklet. She looked at the booklet. Then, much to my surprise, she asked, "Who sent you?" I couldn't lie, so I responded, "God."

This young lady told everyone standing there that she had prayed about 20 minutes before, and I was the answer to her prayer.

I gave her a hug, bought some corn, and got back in the van. As I drove away, I saw this young lady with her arms in the air, thanking the Lord.

I was also thanking the Lord for showing me that He was continuing to make something good out of Todd's death.
