My Children Don't Miss Out on The Amazing! Listening to Others

I want to share a time, when God directed me.
He used an old woman, who was a VA employee.
It was a real low point in my life, I was so depressed.
My wife took our girls from me, things were simply a mess.
I weekly saw a Therapist, at the Bay Pines, VA.
She helped me view my situation, in a different way.
God sent the old woman Gloria, to come and talk to me.
She said "Come to the Chapel child! So God can set you free."
Once we reached the chapel, we kneeled down on the floor.
She talked about forgiving others and many things more.
A heavy cloak seemed to lift and my smile came back again.
My journey seeking and walking with God, had now just began.
We went to the chapel daily, instead of eating lunch.
Gloria said God was speaking to her, because she had a hunch.
She said "Ken, pray for anyone, who God flash in your mind."
I did exactly as she said, each and every time.
Strangers started showing up, from nowhere they appeared.
Saying "This might sound strange, but something sent me here!"
They would kneel beside us, their problems they would share.
We would pray for our offenders, though they were not there.
God's peace and presence filled that chapel, every single day.
The anger we felt we'd arrived, would simply melt away!
Things just started to happen, that were so wonderfully insane!
Some would come back to share events, that we could not explain!
This was just one of hundreds of times, of which I can truly say.
God will show up big in your life, when you're do things His way!
My children ignore the people, who say God is a lie!
Don't accept what another says to you, unless you yourself have TRIED!
Love Dad...
