Don't you just love it when you have a God moment! You are going about life and all of a sudden you have a chance to be used by God. The other day while out walking, I decided to stop and get ice-cream cone at an old fashion burger joint. As I waited in line there was an older lady with a white plastic garbage bag filled with a few clothes, as she chatted up the young man by her. I was pleased that he was polite and offered to give her the additional .09 cents she needed to get a root beer float with the $2 she had in hand. It was obvious by her size, clothes, teeth, and attempt at lipstick, that she had lack for a lot of things, but she was pretty excited to be getting her root beer float. It made me smile.
When I had left my apartment, I had put all of the cash I had in my pocket. While observing this interaction in front of me, the prompting to give what I had in my pocket was pressing, so when she passed I put the folded bill into her hand. Now I had just enough to get my cone with some change left over. I had not planned on giving, and not sure why I decided to take all my cash with me on my walk, but in hindsight, I better understand.
The truth of the matter is, I could have used that money on myself any number of times and did not for whatever reason, but there is nothing that would have brought me greater satisfaction than helping that little old lady.
May we all be blessed with those God moments and realize how blessed we truly are!
