A memory came to me from when I was a little girl that I thought would be fun to share with you all. I began loving Jesus when I was very small, which is a miracle in and of itself since neither of my parents would have anything to do with God and He was never spoken about in our house. Nor did anyone that I knew, so how I even knew about Him is a good question, but I did and I loved Him. When I was older, about 11 I think, one of my chores was setting and clearing the table, and I began setting an extra place at the table. When my Mom asked me who it was for, I told her it was for Jesus because I'd invited Him to have dinner with us. Mom just rolled her eyes lol, and of course nothing happened.
But I continued to set a place for Him anyway, as it made me feel good, especially when my parents wouldn't be home for dinner. Then one evening I went so far as to even pour Him a glass of milk. My parents weren't home or else I'd have been in trouble for wasting it I'm sure.
I sat and had my dinner and as usual, just talked to Him as though He was there even though I couldn't see Him. When I was done and began to clear the table, I did a double take because the glass of milk was no longer full! It looked to me as though someone had taken a drink out f the glass, but there was no one there but me! I still remember that night and how totally thrilled I was that just maybe Jesus had really been there with me and had proved it by drinking some of the milk!
Looking back, I have no idea if any of the milk was gone from that glass or not. I know that at the time I was totally convinced that it was though. Knowing the Lord, it wouldn't surprise me if He did cause some of it to be gone, just to show a little girl she was loved. Did any of you do things like this? (I guess I should put this in the testimony forum, but I was afraid if I did, no one would read it...)
I put it in there anyway....
