Merry Christmas!!
WELL, Since the Title of the post has to do with the most important holiday in the 'Believers' year, I thought I would share a real reason to 'Believe', that happened tonite!!
This is a 'post' I sent to a local site.
There was a 'request' for donations to a member that was suffering hard times, through no fault of her own.
(She has NO idea that this post is related to her situation)
I share Gods Work now.
I have had a long standing tradition where I drop $50. to a 'worthy cause' during this season.
This year, through no fault of my own, I didn't have the $50.
I reached into my pocket and found $20. so I offered 1/2 of my 'net worth' to a project. This was 8:55 pm
This is a very 'lean' year in my world.
I had also agreed to haul a person that I didn't care for to the hospital tonight.@ 9:00 pm
As I was getting ready to start the car, I got a call that I didn't need to haul this person. At the same time, a car pulled up next to me. It was a guy that I had 'helped' 4 years ago!
He handed me $100.! (9:05 pm!)
This was a 10 fold 'Blessing' that I had not counted on EVER seeing!
I sent word that the $10. 'offer' was now $50.!! (@ 9:10 pm!!)
About 28 years ago, I had a new baby, no job, very little hope, when Eldon Sweitzer knocked on my door and handed me $50.!!
SOMEONE CARES!!
I have tried to 'pass it on' ever since!!
This year, I was not in a position to do it, untill Butch Sweitzers Angel drove up!! Butch died in October.
I will do this thing in his Honor for the rest of my life!
This 'event' happened over a 15 MINUTE period!!
Sends 'shiveres' up your spine, doesn't it??
Does. ME!!
As I re-read this, I had to wipe tears from my eyes.
God is GREAT!! (And I don't have to kill anyone to see Him!)
