EVERY CHILD OF GOD SHOULD HAVE THEIR OWN PERSONAL STORY ABOUT HOW HE, (GOD) SENT A SPECIAL BLESSING OF DESTINY INTO THEIR LIFE. IF YOU DON’T HAVE ONE, YOU MIGHT WANT TO ASK YOURSELF THAT ONE BIG QUESTION??? BECAUSE I WANT EVERYONE, NOT JUST CHRISTIANS TO, LIVE A LIFE OF BLESSING. AFTER MOVING FROM GREENSBORO TO CASWELL COUNTY I MADE A LOT OF NEW FRIENDS QUICKLY. ONE WAS PASTOR RON HARRIS. HIS CHURCH HAD A FISH FRY, AND I BOUGHT A HOMEMADE TARTAR SAUCE. I HAD NO PLANS OR DESIRE TO DO ANYTHING WITH IT BECAUSE I HAD RETIRED. PEOPLE COMMENTED ON IT, AND SAID, YOU NEED TO DO SOMETHING WITH IT (WHATEVER THAT MEANT). I SAID “NO WAY, I’M RETIRED NOW.” BASICALLY I DON’T WANT TO BE BOTHERED WITH ANYTHING. ONE SUNDAY MORNING I GOT UP AND WENT TO SUNDAY SERVICE AT PASTOR RON’S CHURCH. I’M SITTING THERE WAITING FOR SERVICE TO START, PASTOR RON WALKS UP TO THE PULPIT IN A NICE CHOIR ROBE, OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT, IT WAS NICE. I’M SAYING TO MYSELF, THIS IS GOING TO BE A RELAXING TIME TO JUST SIT HERE, LISTEN TO A SERMON, AND NOT BE BOTHERED BY NOBODY. I’LL JUST LISTEN TO WHAT HE HAS TO SAY, GO HOME AND HAVE A NICE LUNCH WITH MY FAMILY. NONE OF THAT HAPPENED. IN THE MIDDLE OF HIS SERMON HE LEAVES THE PULPIT, WALKS DOWN THE AISLE, LOOKS AT ME AND SAYS,”YOUR FATE WILL BE IN GROCERY STORES AND ONE DAY YOU WILL SEE BROTHER GARY ON THE SIDE OF TRUCKS GOING DOWN THE HIGHWAY”. I THOUGHT TO MYSELF “ THIS MAN IS CRAZY, OUT OF HIS MIND, WHAT A SHOW, WHAT A SHAM HE’S PUTTING ON.” THEN HE SAID ”IT WILL BE CALLED BROTHER GARY’S.” NOW I KNEW HE WAS CRAZY OR EITHER HE WAS FROM MARS. WHEN SERVICE WAS OVER I WENT TO MY CAR, NOT KNOWING HE WAS BEHIND ME. NOW I DIDN’T KNOW HE WAS A MARINE AS A YOUNG MAN. IF HE WASN’T A DRILL SARGENT HE MISSED HIS CHANCE. WHEN I TURNED AROUND HE GOT RIGHT IN MY FACE AND THE DRILL SARGENT CAME OUT. HE SAID “YOU WILL PURSUE THIS, YOU WILL FINISH THIS BECAUSE ITS BEEN PROPHESIED THAT YOU WILL.” WELL, TO MAKE A LONG STORY SHORTER. A FEW MONTHS WENT BY AND GOD MET EVERY NEED TO START A NEW BUSINESS. I DIDN’T HAVE TO INVEST ANY START-UP MONEY. I WENT HOME AND TOLD MY WIFE ALL THE MIRACLES GOD HAD DONE AND I SAID “HONEY, IF WE DON’T DO THIS, I’M AFRAID WE’LL BE STRUCK BY LIGHTNING.” SHE SAID, “I THINK YOU BETTER DO IT.” I ASKED GOD ONCE, WHY DID YOU PICK SOMEONE LIKE ME FOR THIS? I HAVE NOR EXPERIENCE WITH FOOD, EXCEPT FOR GRILLING HAMBURGERS AND I KNOW NOTHING ABOUT THE FOOD BUSINESS. HECK, I’M NOT EVEN A COOK. HIS REPLY WAS QUICK, HE SAID, “YOU’RE THE PERFECT CANDIDATE. THIS WAY THEY WILL KNOW THAT (GOD) DID IT, I JUST LOVE THAT PART, DON’T YOU? I ONCE HEARD A LADY SAY THAT “INADEQUACY IS A GIFT FROM GOD.” PRAISE GOD. WELL I AM GOING TO LET PASTOR RON END THIS WITH A COMMENT FROM HIM. SO HERE’S PASTOR RON.
