All About GOD - Growing Relationships with Jesus and Others
HAS JESUS "SPOKEN " TO YOU PERSONALLY?
HIS NAME IS "TOMMY"....
JESUS ONCE AGAIN SPOKE TO ME TODAY, ON 29 DECEMBER 2008...
In most of the articles I've read, the main character is simply called Tommy... Well, I met Tommy today! And I know that Jesus sent Tommy to me.
It was a lovely surprise when hubby (went for a haircut) and called me on my cell ‘phone inviting me to have coffee with him at Wimpy. I was overwhelmed as I thought it to be such a kind and nice gesture.
When I arrived at the Wimpy we ordered something and whilst waiting my eyes fell on a figure in the parking lot, shuffling along. His hair was a little unruly and his clothing was anything but "acceptable"... And then it happened. The Holy spirit tugged at my heartstrings and I rushed out of the Wimpy to the "old" figure slowly coming closer to me. I stopped right in front of this old gentleman and I think I said : "Hi, how are you?"... (I was on a "high" - and felt the Holy Spirit's guidance)... He told me he was deaf so I spoke slowly but clearly and said : "I want you to come inside and eat something... I'll pay!" He looked almost disbelieving at me... I led him to a table and made him sit down. I asked a waiter to attend to the gentleman and to give him whatever he would like to eat. I would pay the bill. I looked into Tommy's face and he had the most gorgeous blue eyes that I have ever seen!!! As I stood there Tommy wrote a note:
YOU'RE A WONDERFUL LADY, MANY THANKS FOR YOUR KINDNESS TO ME. I WILL NEVER FORGET - I WISH YOU HAPPY IN THE NEW YEAR.
He turned the paper and wrote : My name is Tommy: #
And below he drew a charicature : something like the character Jeff with a" balloon" from his mouth saying GOD BLESS YOU...
I was overwhelmed and hubby was surprised - and said: "This gentleman is well educated - just look at this beautiful writing and the drawing is incredible"...
I went back to my seat at the back of Tommy as our food had come... The Holy Spirit gave me another nudge and before Tommy's food arrived I gave him a R100.00 bill. And then I asked him if I could hug him... and I hugged him (praise God I did not even cry!)... but I certainly felt "frail"...
When the waiter brought Tommy's food I asked her to make up a couple of sandwiches as a Take-away for the gentleman and to write on the brown packet : To Tommy with Love from Ramona...
Tommy took out his pen, after receiving the little food parcel, and wrote on another piece of paper:
RAMONA,
AGAIN TO TELL YOU BOTH MANY THANKS # I WILL NEVER FORGET
ABOUT YOU: THANKS.
TOMMY #
I know when the Holy Spirit speaks... and this is the third time round this year!!! Praise God that I was obedient and that I had enough money for Tommy... and the Lord...
Matthew 25:40
And the King will answer them, ‘Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these my brothers, you did it to me.'

MY DEAREST RON
I WAS SO EXCITED ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED THIS MORNING... I WANTED TO STAND ON THE ROOF TOPS AND SHOUT "JESUS SPOKE TO ME" AND "JESUS WANTS YOU TO KNOW HOW JOYFUL IT IS TO GIVE"... IF ALL OF US WHO HAVE JUST GIVE A LITTLE TO EACH WHO DO NOT HAVE... WE CAN MAKE A CHANGE... I MADE ONE GENTLEMAN HAPPY TODAY AND THE LORD HAS BLESSED ME WITH AN INTENSE HAPPINESS THAT I CANNOT EXPLAIN..."MY CUP RUNNETH OVER"... JUST SAY, I DID NOT HAVE MONEY TO GIVE THIS POOR DEAF, MUTE, GENTLEMAN, I COULD STILL HAVE MADE HIM FEEL "WORTHY" BY GIVING HIM A HUG... (NOT SO)???
PRAISE GOD - I HAVE ACTUALLY ON MANY OCCASIONS BEEN TAKEN OUT OF MY "COMFORT ZONE" AND MY EYES HAVE SEEN OTHER PEOPLE WHO NEED LOVE AND UPLIFTMENT... JUST A BITE TO EAT AND A R100.00 BILL... AND I SAW JESUS IN THOS MAGNIFICENT BLUE EYES OF TOMMY!!!

I share in your joy of obedience to the Lord's call.may His grace abound more to the rest of Christ's body to trust and obey when His voice comes to us.

Thank you for sharing this with me Agishon
I specially wrote this for people to see how they must "listen" when God speaks. He does not talk audibly... He tugs at your heart strings. People must just be aware of what God wants... And I must tell you, usually my heart "breaks" for people like Tommy and I cry. I knew if I cried the whole object of love would be spoiled, for Tommy would be embarrassed. So, while my heart was truly "breaking" I kept a stiff upper lip and made as if he were just my guest whom I was accustomed to taking to "brunch"...
Be blessed...

Dearest littlesheep88
Thank you for reading my comment... and I am so pleased that it meant something to some people I placed this comment to try to show people how an ordinary (sinful) child of God can actually "hear" Him... I had three miracles this year and I am so glad that God chose me... Some people try to impress their pastor and tithe heavily... I do what I can and I do not try to withhold monies from God. However, there are poor people who cannot afford tithing. And they do not realise that "time" a "cheerul smile", a "hug", a "friendly chat" "compassion" and "love" all amounts to TITHING...
I WILL REMEMBER TOMMY AS LONG AS I LIVE... A MUTE DEAF TOMMY! AND HE WAS NOT BEGGING - I ASSURE YOU - HE IS TOO DIFNIFIED FOR THAT!
May God bless you dearest friend and thank you for sharing... and an old lady's advice to you my angel is : "Listen carefully - for God does not speak audibly - but you will know when He speaks to you"...
Fondest love in Jesus

Hi Rox
It is wonderful when Jesus comes into your life... Do you know that if you love Jesus you can actually have such a connection that He speaks to you but not in a voice... Something just happens and you know that Jesus told you to do it.
In South Africa we have a lot of African people and when I go to the shopping malls I try to reach out to the little kids (African, Indian and Coloured kids) all beautiful kids that God made so special. I hug them and talk to them and if I have a sweet I share with them. We have an expression which the Africans use "sharp" - you stick your thumb up like "thumbs up" and say "sharp" - which means you are accepted. and if you take a little hand they push your pinky down... They are so cute.
We attend a mutli racial church and it is great. Rox, you sound like a really cool kid. And I am proud to know you.
My son-in-law is a pastor and sometimes he sleeps in a shack every now and then on Saturday nights so that he can go with his African friend Edward to preach a sermon to the squatters.
There is such a hunger for the Word of God... and so much strife and hardships.
Thank you so much for sharing with me... I am so glad that you are also one of my family in Jesus...
Blessings to you and your dear family and may God bless your Dad so that many souls will be won for God's kingdom...
Fond love from South Africa
