The southern gentleman returned at the appointed time with his herbs and all of the necessary components for making tinctures and capsules. We discussed each herb in depth and how to use the end products he was creating. He made notes as I taught. I supervised as he worked with every herb he had purchased. I thought he seemed very comfortable with the process. When all was done and the mess cleared away, the gentleman packed up all we had created. Then it happened….
The gentleman began to act very nervous. Which in turn made me a bit nervous. He finally said, “O.K., I’m just going to bite the bullet and ask….”
Do you have any idea how many thoughts the human brain can process in a nano-second? A hundred things flashed through my brain. What was he going to ask me? Now I really was nervous!
Then this southern gentleman gently asked, “Would you do me the honor of spending some time with me to see if you might be interested in establishing a relationship together?”
I was speechless. I had no interest in this at all. In fact, I saw several areas that I considered insurmountable because of our differences. I was just about to open my mouth and show this gentleman the door when I clearly heard the Holy Spirit speak….
“Shut Up and Listen”…..
