| IBM 407 Accounting Machine |
While in high school I met a young Christian man. We were taking the same computer classes and
ended up becoming very good friends.
Some of the machines we worked on were almost ancient at
that time, which would make them nearly prehistoric in comparison to the robust
computers of today. (See the picture above.)
This young man would print out Bible verses using these machines
and hand the papers out to everyone. By
today’s opinion of prayer in schools, this would have been frowned upon, but
not then.
Although we went our separate ways, I kept the papers for
years. I could probably dig into a few
old boxes and not be surprised to find one of those scripture verses tucked
into a book or between memorabilia from my younger days.
Those tiny papers containing a huge message, changed my life
forever. Not long after we graduated
high school, I met the God he served. I wish I could find him and thank him for
those messages he’d given me. Messages
of hope and eternal grace. One day I'm sure I will.
Have you ever had someone enter your life, if for only a brief time, and leave you with a life-changing moment?
I always seem to have a person-a total stranger on the Road to Freedom Tour-who pops up at just the right time and meets a need. It not only changes my life but all those I come in contact with. amazing. Great post, Jennie.
