Days Like These.....

WhiteDove · July 27, 2006

It's days like these that I am so very thankful for having had access to so much learning about the things of God. Despite all the bad, having learned how to walk and talk with God and to hear His voice has been a wonderful blessing to my life.

Today a couple traveling through town stoped at one of my customers a laundry to wash their clothes. While they were there the lady asked me if there were any unclaimed blankets left behind. I looked in the back room but the owner had donated most of the clothes to the local Goodwill store last week so there were none. I gave them a couple of nice bath towels they wanted also, and went about my work. It was then that I was reminded that I had a brand new blanket in my van. I had bought it a few months back one day on a close out table for next to nothing, at the time I thought I'd just leave it in the van in case of emergency. It rolled up into a small roll and had the lock straps like a sleeping bag so it was very compact.

Having just bought it my first thought was why would I want to give it away. Because I asked you to came the reply. So out to the van I go........... As I gave it to the lady she turned to the man and said see I told you my God is awesome. This morning I prayed for a blanket today and I have the perfect one for traveling.

What can I say? How cool is that..............

Similar things (like that) have happened to me too.

yeah.. me too... that's a good WD... see, that's the way I've always envisioned "plurality giving" and "abundant sharing" working... there's lots of opportunities out there to do things like that, we only need to take the blinders off and see them...

Tom -- When are you going to NK, and teach this!?!?

(Something they need to hear -- eh?)

Cool stuff guys.

And I have been the recipient of some of the kindnesses. Dove helped me in a time of great need as well as Tom sent me to a computer class to help me get a position which demanded I know excel.

Thanks

...I feel that way too. although I'm not sure I've kept keen by reading His Word faithfully, but there isn't a day or maybe even a few hours that the Word doesn't help me in decesions I make...I don't focus on the "crap" much anymore. I haven't the time, desire or stamina it takes......Jim

Your right Tom,

As I said I'm glad I learned,but I wouldn't say I'm always good at putting it into practice.

Back at you Dot

And sometimes it comes full circle like when Dot found my furry pal for me........ I think I came out ahead in that deal.......

I also had a sweet occurance today.

Was at my college library at closing time when an old, disheveld man was trying to check out a Bible with his health insurance card - when that didn't work, he offered a phone card.

Was able to offer a Bible that was in my car - nice, large print - he was surprised and delighted and very thankful.

So was I.

WHITEBIRDY-- that is soo sweet! (Shhhh! don't tell anybody I said that!!)

We've gotten that chance to do such things, too--and to know we can actually hear God tell us to give in those instances, is awesome!

Thanks for sharing that story! God is so good!
