A Great Effect

By Jonathan Cox

      A few years ago, my family and I went out to lunch. When we got our food, we all held hands and prayed like we always do, not thinking anything of it. As we were leaving after our meal, this woman came up to one of my brothers and asked him to get my mom’s attention because the woman wanted to tell her something. He did and and my mom came back inside the door. The woman, who had tears running down her face, told my mom thank you. She began to express how happy it made her to see a family praying together in a public place. That was it. This was an amazing thing to see. Even something as small as saying a prayer in public brought someone to tears. It stands to show us that little things we do in our everyday lives can have a great effect on people, even if we don’t realize it.



“‘Tis a war that calls for valor;
‘Tis a conflict with the world;
There can be no furlough granted;
Never must the flag be furled.
We can never cease the conflict
Till the summons home be heard;
We have all for life enlisted
In the army of the Lord.”
~ Joseph Woodward
