She Taught Us A Lesson In True Love
Oct 19th, 2009
He thought he was going to faint. He couldn’t believe what he was hearing his wife say … “I want her number.” He thought he had imagined every scenario, but none of them included this! She dialed the number, stated her name, then proceeded to tell the ‘other woman’ that she was sorry … sorry that she hadn’t been a good enough wife to her husband, sorry that he had to look elsewhere for what he should have found at home. Then she taught him a lesson in true love as he listened to her words … “I intend to work on being the best wife Ron could ever want, and if I do my job right, you will not be hearing from my husband again.” That’s what she promised, and that’s what she delivered. It was a sterling example of the law of love, spoken of in God’s Word.
It was when he treated Denver Moore to a cup of coffee at Starbucks that he got his second lesson about the law of love. He couldn’t have bought a better education from an ivory league collage. No, what he was about to learn from this new found friend was far more than head knowledge … it sunk deep down into his soul. What he got from Starbucks that day was about to change more than just his life, it was going to change a community!
In this true story of Debra and Ron Hall, we see a beautiful example of God’s love received and funneled through to those who are often considered untouchable … the homeless. Because we receive God’s blessings, a river of blessings should flow from us, and that is exactly the kind of life Debra Hall lived. Same Kind of Different As Me is an amazing story of a woman whose tender heart understood that caring for the poor and needy is how we show the love of Christ. I consider myself blessed to have learned this lesson from the beautiful testimony of Debra Hall’s life.
