Several years ago, a lady entered an ice cream shop in Kansas City to purchase a treat. After making her selection, she turned and found herself face to face with Paul Newman, who was in town filming a movie. He smiled and said, “Hello”. Newman’s famous blue eyes caused her knees to shake.

She managed to pay for her ice cream cone, and left the shop, her heart pounding. When she collected herself, she realized that she didn’t have her ice cream. She started back into the store to get it and met Newman at the door.

“Are you looking for your ice cream?” he asked. Unable to speak, she nodded. “You put it in your purse with your change.”

When was the last time the presence of the Lord quickened your pulse?

“When they saw the star, they were overjoyed. On coming to the house, they saw the child with his mother Mary, and they bowed down and worshiped him…” (Matt. 2:10-11).
