He calls every Monday and I look forward to it...A young Muslim man who is restless in his community.

Hi, this is -------.

Hi again! Nice to hear from you....Did you get to church again last Sunday?

Yes.

Did you go to the same one?

I did.

So, what did you think of it? What did the pastor preach about?

Silence

I suppose it was hard for you to concentrate on that, right, with so much new stuff all around you

That's right.

Then what stood out the most?

The music. I love the music....I feel like I am falling in love with God. Is that all right?

Of course it is. That's what happens when you learn about God's love and compassion for people!

But I feel this is like a marriage kind of love....

That is just what the Bible says happens as you become God's own...How interesting that you understand that already!

So it's ok?

Yes, it's ok.

And THAT is why I love my job...

Mom-

That is AMAZING! Only the Holy Spirit could place that kind of understanding in a heart. So profound that when there is not understanding, you can understand. What an interesting job. I hope I have something like that to do when my own kids are gone. I really think I'd thrive on that sort of on-my-feet conversation!

Mom, this story still makes me feel like crying...it could not be more beautiful. I wanted to tell the women's group about it on Sunday but could not remember exactly what he said...you'll have to share it!
