Jesus at Work

I wanted to do this blog earlier but waited. It came to me on my way home on the bus after seeing Mary Sholz at the coffee house. Has nothing to do with Mary Sholz (maybe) but on the way home the bus driver stopped to pick someone up, and I heard, "Can I get a man to help this lady with her packages?" Did not think, just found myself getting up. Yet before I moved another man was up and out to help this lady. 
I thought of how earlier, on my way to the coffee house, waiting at the bus stop, some nice men had been busy helping an older couple change a flat tire. 
Also and not to pat my own back, a few mornings ago there was a car stalled in the middle of a busy road during morning rush, so I just went over and help her get it out of the road and to a safer spot, another gentleman remained, and helped I supposed, with her need. (I at the time was catching a bus and figured my thing was done) 
So all that said, as I rode home tonight I thought, "What a nice slogan for Dundalk." It happens everywhere for sure, but this is where I am at, and this is where I can do my thing. 
So I prayed. "Lord, work in me first where I am at." 
The slogan I came up with was this, "Dundalk, the town where you can find Jesus working!" 
To be truthful there was a lady in my church some moons ago that lived in Dundalk and had an injury so she could not drive. Pastor ask me (being I do not do anything) if I could drive her to work and back. She at the time lived in Dundalk and I in Westview park. I joked with her from time to time saying, "Dundalk, can any good thing come out of Dundalk" referring to Bible quote. Well now she lives in Westview park and I in Dundalk. God indeed keeps us account for every idle word we say!
