My husband, John, loves his sweatshirts. He wears them almost everywhere we go and I am okay with that because he looks so good in them.
We decided to go with family to the Smithsonian Udvar Hazy Air and Space Museum and he wore one of my personal favorites that is from our church and says, "The Best is Yet To Come."
Walking under the big aircraft, reading about all of the history and designs with amazement about how far we have come, a woman walked up to Johnny in tears.
She said that she had seen his sweatshirt and said, "You are not going to believe this." She broke down so my sweet husband walked her over to a bench where they talked for a few minutes.
Her story was so powerful - she had lost her best friend to cancer the day before and thought that taking her kids to the museum would help her focus on something else. Well, she explained that every text or card that she sent to her best friend were signed "The Best is Yet To Come." She said that seeing John's sweatshirt was confirmation that her friend had found her best.
Johnny explained to her that we believe that the best is yet to come no matter what happens because we believe in Jesus and the hope he brings. They talked for a few more minutes about their faith and how it brings us so much hope then hugged and he came back to us shaking his head.
It amazes us every day what God can use to provide comfort and peace to someone. A sweatshirt that he had been wearing for about three years gave hope to a woman that we will probably never see again. We don't even know her name but God does and He planned for all of us to be at the Udvar Hazy center that day.
What a great God we serve!
