I feel euphoric! This giving money away thing is like a drug! I am one of the lucky two people who received $500 in their envelope. I just knew that whatever God wanted me to do with that money, it would be very special. And just like everyone else I had been praying and waiting for that feeling I would have when God put that special person in front of me. And today it finally happened.
This morning on my way to work I was thinking about Mikes message on Sunday.I was thinking of how wonderful it was for him to tell all of us the whole story of his calling, and to finally tell Dawn, his wife. I was also thinking about how recently he was able to baptize his own father. Wow, it was all I could do to keep from crying.
When I got to work this morning, a women I work with was being dropped off in her husbands work truck. When she saw me she began to explain how the only car they had broke down over the weekend. To top it off it was just after they had paid their rent and the two of them only had $20 to their name. It was then that I got butterflies in my stomach and I knew she was the one. So on our lunch break when no one else was around, I took the money out and gave it to her. I explained to her about the reverse offering and that the envelopes contained $5 to $500. I did not tell her how much was in the envelope. She began to cry and refuse the money. So I put my arms around her and told her how I knew she was the one that God wanted me to give the money too. I told her about how just 2 months ago, I too did not have a car. I told her about the wonderful women from our church who had given me a car. And that she had said that the car was a gift from God. I told her that the money was not from me, it was a gift from God too. She finally accepted the money and cried.
I do wonder what her reaction will be when she opens that envelope.
Yay God, what a feeling! I could do this everyday!
