I Believe!

As I start the New Year with my new list, I am encouraged to share a quick 'Ahhh' moment with you.  Yesterday while running my errands I gassed up at a new gas station that offered cheap gas and is known for good fried chicken! It was a first, but I thought, why not, so after filling up I walked in to get a piece of chicken. My normal is a spicy breast, the "special" however was 2 breasts and a roll for $2.99. I asked how much for one breast and they said $3.90. As you can imagined I walked out with 2 huge, hot chicken breasts and a roll. Now what am I to do with the extra that I have?

In bigger cities it would be easy to find someone on the street corner that needed a hot piece of chicken, but not here. So off I drive to my next destination, all the while looking and thinking who is suppose to have this hot piece of chicken?

As I drive along the deserted beach stretch of Hwy 90 taking in the natural beauty, I am wondering where will I find someone here? Not exactly the hopping spot for someone looking for help. As you can imagine, not a soul on the horizon! So now I pray. Lord help me find someone to share this meal with. I continued driving and finally came upon the only store, on this lonely beach stretch that has been stripped of all businesses and homes since hurricane Katrina. So on a prompting I turn into a lone newer  Wal-Mart with hopes of finding someone. I drove slowly going the full perimeter looking for someone in need. As I make my final stretch up to the front of the store, before heading back to the beach, I see a single gentleman with a back pack and a few personal belongings. Could he need a meal? I rolled down my window and immediately he jumped up and came over. I hesitantly offered him my box of chicken and explained I was given 2 for 1 if he wanted it? He quickly took it and said a hearty thank you with a smile!

I drove off encouraged that God was able to use me out of my abundance, which today just so happened to be a hot chicken breast and a roll! It made me smile too realizing that God can use all of us each day, out of the abundance that he gives to each of us!

Let me ask you? Do you have more than enough? Extra to share? Blessed to be a blessing? My hope is that you are as encouraged and motivated as I am, to be used of God each day this New Year of 2015!

Godspeed....
