I don't normally share with the world when we are able to bless people...but I was so very blessed in return today.
About 2-3 months ago, I was in HEB with the kids, buying groceries. I noticed that the lady behind me was buying a big bag of rice, beans and what looked to be penny pinching meals. I felt like I was supposed to pay for her groceries. I took the kids to the quarter machines while they scanned her items, and then went over and handed the cashier the money quickly... She stood in shock. I said "Have a blessed day!" And we rushed out the door. As you can imagine, it takes a few minuets to load my groceries and 4 kids in the car. I saw her walking to her car, but we didn't speak. Life went on.
Today I was at Whataburger buying breakfast for our family. I paid for the person behind me...and noticed that they FOLLOWED ME...... I debated turning in a different direction than my house, or pulling into a public place. When I stopped at a stop sign, a lady jumped out of the car with a piece of paper and ran up to my window. She had a faded piece of paper with my license plate and description of my car, with tape on it.
She said {in tears} "You paid for my groceries a few months ago at HEB. I had no idea how I was going to feed my family or even pay for the groceries. I wrote down your car info, taped it to my windshield, and prayed for you every time I got in my car. Today you paid for my breakfast. WHO ARE YOU?? I have prayed for you tons."
Ok, don't get me wrong... if it had been a millionaire and gave me $$$ to say thank you, it would have been great... But, I cannot tell you how blessed I was in return, just knowing that she has prayed for my family over and over. God works in awesome ways. Go bless someone today!!!!!
