The Barber Shoppe of Hope

The Barber Shoppe of Hope It was not what I was expecting at all A barber shoppe in a rough side of town But this is where the Lord sent me So off I go… I walked in and began to proclaim the coming of our Messiah The owner walked away uncomfortably, But his associates were quite excited to hear of this news! One of the other barbers was also a lay preacher He confirmed everything I said and we held hands and prayed We delighted in the commonality of our one-mindedness He prayed over my safety and wondered why Jesus would send a woman To preach in the most dangerous side of town I told him the only ones who are in danger are those not covered by The blood of Jesus Christ He concurred He sent me off with a holy hug Out… Out the door to the next destination I will find out where it is when I get there! A day in the streets with my Savior Written by Gwendolen Rix 9-5-14
