[Mr PitBull Stories @MrPitbull07]

"My name's Raymond. I'm 73. I work the parking lot at St. Joseph's Hospital. Minimum wage, orange vest, a whistle I barely use. Most people don't even look at me. I'm just the old man waving cars into spaces.
But I see everything.

Like the black sedan that circled the lot every morning at 6 a.m. for three weeks. Young man driving, grandmother in the passenger seat. Chemotherapy, I figured. He'd drop her at the entrance, then spend 20 minutes hunting for parking, missing her appointments.

One morning, I stopped him. "What time tomorrow?"
"6:15," he said, confused.
"Space A-7 will be empty. I'll save it."
He blinked. "You... you can do that?"
"I can now," I said.

Next morning, I stood in A-7, holding my ground as cars circled angrily. When his sedan pulled up, I moved. He rolled down his window, speechless. "Why?"
"Because she needs you in there with her," I said. "Not out here stressing."
He cried. Right there in the parking lot.

Word spread quietly. A father with a sick baby asked if I could help. A woman visiting her dying husband. I started arriving at 5 a.m., notebook in hand, tracking who needed what. Saved spots became sacred. People stopped honking. They waited. Because they knew someone else was fighting something bigger than traffic.
But here's what changed everything, A businessman in a Mercedes screamed at me one morning. "I'm not sick! I need that spot for a meeting!"

"Then walk," I said calmly. "That space is for someone whose hands are shaking too hard to grip a steering wheel."

He sped off, furious. But a woman behind him got out of her car and hugged me. "My son has leukemia," she sobbed. "Thank you for seeing us."

The hospital tried to stop me. "Liability issues," they said. But then families started writing letters. Dozens. "Raymond made the worst days bearable." "He gave us one less thing to break over."

Last month, they made it official. "Reserved Parking for Families in Crisis." Ten spots, marked with blue signs. And they asked me to manage it.

But the best part? A man I'd helped two years ago, his mother survived, came back. He's a carpenter. Built a small wooden box, mounted it by the reserved spaces. Inside? Prayer cards, tissues, breath mints, and a note,

"Take what you need. You're not alone. -Raymond & Friends"
People leave things now. Granola bars. Phone chargers. Yesterday, someone left a hand-knitted blanket.
I'm 73. I direct traffic in a hospital parking lot. But I've learned this: Healing doesn't just happen in operating rooms. Sometimes it starts in a parking space. When someone says, "I see your crisis. Let me carry this one small piece."

So pay attention. At the grocery checkout, the coffee line, wherever you are. Someone's drowning in the little things while fighting the big ones.

Hold a door. Save a spot. Carry the weight no one else sees.
It's not glamorous. But it's everything."

Let this story reach more hearts....

Biblical reasons for Jesus Name baptism #2: The Epistles refer exclusively to the Jesus Name baptismal formula. See Rom 6:3–4; 1 Cor 1:13; 6:11; Gal 3:27; Col 2:12.

@gracetoyou Psalm 143:10

[Smash Baals @smashbaals]

When a father comes to Christ first 93% of families will follow

When a mother comes to Christ first only 17% will

This is why godly fathers are important

In April 1906, the Holy🕊️Ghost outpouring at the Azusa Street Apostolic Faith Mission in Los Angeles, accompanied by a massive Earthquake & devastating Fires in San Francisco, sparked a world-wide revival of the Pentecostal experience on a scale not seen since Acts 2 🔥

TODAY, nearly 120 yrs later, another Earthquake struck Los Angeles as Fires burn on the horizon ~ these are natural Signs portending another supernatural outpouring of the Holy🕊️Ghost upon 2024 UPCI General Conference Oct 1-4, culminating with signs, wonders, miracles, and gifts of the Holy🕊️Ghost on Friday night’s REVIVE🔥AMERICA Gathering 7-9pm in the Long Beach Arena.

Over 13,000 have already registered for what will be the largest single gathering ever of Apostolic Oneness Pentecostals on the west coast of America!!!

THIS ~ not who’s the next President, not the economy, not education, not immigration, not jobs, not the military, not politics ~ THIS is the answer for America🇺🇸

THIS is THAT 😢💧🔥

@ATT it’s been about a year. You still haven’t buried the fiber line you put in my back yard. How sad. Last employee who came out said he didn’t know where to hook up the line. Eventually the lawnmower will get it. How long and you’ll charge me to replace. Please retweet this.

[Jesse Pinheiro @jessepinheiro7]

@FresnoStateFB @DCarr8 I remember that!
