(I tell you this so that can see how the Lord orchestrated this whole morning, as this was not planned by me.)
About a half hour in our conversation a young boy about 5 yrs old came up to our table and asked what were we doing? ( I later fond out he was autistic) With that my sister stated she was celebrating her birthday with her brother. This cute young boy then said, “ that’s nice!” I was so taken by his boldness to ask a perfect stranger a question that I showed him the appearing coin illusion that I have used for the last 6 yrs. This gets peoples attention in a way that they want the coin which has the Ten Commandments on one side and the Gospel of Jesus Christ on the other.

After his excitement about seeing it appear, to my amazement 3 other children a few years older came by and asked if I could do it again with them. This part is awesome, just as I finished giving each a coin, 4 other children came by and wanted it done to them. I now had about 6 or 7 children alongside our table all excited. I then notice that my sister was hysterically laughing, and states that she had never seen so many excited children at her table.
Yes, and the adults that were their got the million dollar Gospel tract. They all thanked me and went back to their separate tables. Well this part should grab your heart, one of the adult ladies came back after a while and stated that she was the young boy’s guardian who came to our table 1st , and that he was autistic, and that I had just made his day!
Talk about being “blessed” ! If I didn’t learn how to make a coin appear out of thin air, how would I have been able to bring such joy to those strange children. The one that touched me was the one with autism. Remember what Jesus said ,
(Mat 18:3) , "Truly I say to you, unless you are converted and become like children, you will not enter the kingdom of heaven.”
I can only thank the Lord and the Holy Spirit for providing me with the desire to reach out to anyone about someone who can save everyone, even if it means I might make a fool of myself.
