Author Thread: Never Alone ? Never Alone Posted: Wednesday, February 20, 2008 2:50 PM (CST) Wahoo! I don't remember the last time I was this excited! This is one of those holy moments here on earth!! My adrenaline is through the roof. In fact, if it wasn't so cold outside I think I could run a marathon. I have to say there is nothing like doing kingdom business. As I was praying about my act of kindness I knew that I wanted to bless someone who has walked my path and the Lord reminded me of a place where I spent a lot of time. Thankfully, the government has some awesome programs for low income familes and as a witness for myself, not everyone takes advatage of these programs. The Evergreen Center near twin lakes offers WIC, where I spent many hours waiting in line for food vouchers. Pulling into the parking lot brought back so many bad memories - shame for needing help because I was raised better, fear - of the unknown (will my lights be out when I get home) and pain/loneliness - a single mom raising my children. I sat by many young hurting women in that office and today I was going to bless one of them. She was getting her kids out of their van, trying to keep the carseat covered with her newborn on one arm and zip up her daughters coat who was running out into the busy parking lot with her other arm. As they were rushing to the door the mom was irritated - "Come on honey were running late" I stopped her and asked if they had a WIC appointment "Yes" I could tell it had been a hard day. "I handed her the money, told her that she is never alone, and God loves her. She was speechless, and her young daughter kept asking questions - Who is that mommy? What does she want? Why did she give you that? The mother paused and gave me the most wonderful smile (to me it was wonderful, to someone else it might have been offending because it was not much of a smile - I could tell that it a smile filled with pain, fear, and the shame that I had once known). Thank you so much GP for this opportunity! I felt such a responsibility to use God's money. What an eye opener - everything that we have is His! I intend to do this more often and always remind myself to be a better steward of HIS money!!!
