God knows how to get your attention

So I have a crazy story to tell you. Only crazy because it really happened and happened to my stepmom, this is not an email story. It just confirms what I know to be true and that is that God knows how to get your attention when he needs to.
My stepmom, Pam, called to tell me today about this incident that happened to her yesterday. I may edit the story after Pam reads it, so that I accurately describe the account.

Pam was at the bank yesterday at lunch, and she said there was upwards of 30 people in the bank. She said she noticed a distinguished black man in the bank who seemed to be friendly with everyone and everyone seemed to know him. Pam had never seen him before and did not know him at all. She said he appeared to be leaving and walking towards the door when he stopped, turned, and walked up to her. She said he put his arm around her and looked her straight in the eyes and said, "Put a smile on your face and quit worrying about that young man, God will take care of him." The man then walked away. (This just days before we are all traveling to Austin for the benefit for my brother, who just met with his heart transplant team, because there is not much else they can do to fight the cancer.)

At this point in the story, I had chills down my spine. Pam said she almost cried, but held it together and went back to work. She told her coworkers about what happened and it turned out that it was the uncle of one of her coworkers (they live in a small military town, so not surprising). However, my stepmom had not told this girl about my brother's cancer and Pam asked her if she knew from someone else, and the girl said she had no idea about my brother. Anyway, the girl said her uncle was called Prophet Paul, because God speaks to him and he tells people things all the time that turn out to be true. He used to be a Southern Baptist minister, but poor health has forced him into retirement. So the girl insisted she call her uncle so he could talk to Pam more. Pam said they talked for 30 minutes and prayed together. How amazing!!! I have always believed that each person has a spiritual gift and for some that gift is hearing God a little more clearly than others. This man is remarkable, because he not only hears God, but has the confidence to pass the message along. Our family is so thankful for that message.
