When I walked into town today a small piece of paper lying on the road took my attention. I picked it up and was holding a beautiful bookmark in my hand. It was no ordinary bookmark. The whole of  Psalm 23 was written on one side and it was almost like new. I am not in the habit of picking up paper from the road. Don’t get me wrong.

After finishing my business in town, walking home on Commerce Street in our beautiful town of Kaitaia, I met somebody I have talked to on a number of occasions. I offered the bookmark to that person – but was told that that bookmark was for me today. Very good!

Further on on the same street I ran into the retired teacher. He was headmaster in a school many years ago, where I taught BIS. (Bible in Schools) I have met him before here in Kaitaia. But this time he had bad news.  His wife had died not long ago and he told me about another death and his best friend is very sick.

We talked of course about eternal life and he received the bookmark gladly. Psalm 23:1-6

On another occasion some time ago I found a brand new Christian magazine (“IN TOUCH”) latest edition on the side of the road. I delivered the magazine straight away to a man who lived in one of the next houses.
