Hello my G.L.A.M. Girlz - I wanted to share something that happened this past week that touched my heart.
I was at Walmart the other morning before work, and walking back to my car I noticed an elder black women getting some clothes from her trunk. She had her nightgown on along with a robe, and you could tell she lived out of her car, as it was packed full with stuff both inside and the trunk. My heart sank, and while walking to my car I heard God say, buy her breakfast. So I put my stuff in my car, got some money out of my purse, and walked over to her. I said excuse me, may I buy you breakfast this morning, and handed her the money. She said, oh no honey that is ok, so humble and had a sweet smile on her face - I could tell she was embarrassed. I felt the tears well up in my eyes, glad I had on sunglasses, and I said, no - please let me buy you breakfast, God asked me too, and she then took the money. Walking back to my car - I was trying not to start sobbing. I didn't look back at her - I couldn't cause I would have lost it.
I wondered if she had a family, and why she didn't live with them. Or if she doesn't have family why she couldn't find a place to live. Sad thing is - I really don't know how our elders who don't have retirement are living on a daily basis. God tells us to take care of our elders, the widows, and the children. I pray everyone will search their hearts and help someone today. I think God may have asked me to help her because maybe she needed the money, or maybe she needed to know someone, especially God, still cares about her, but I kinda feel like that was more for me than her. I wanted to cry all the way to work. It touched MY heart, not sure if it meant anything to her......but only God knows! Main thing is, I listened to God's still voice, and God gave me a caring heart for others.
I pray you are listening to God's still voice inside of you, and are doing what HE asks. It may be more of a blessing to your heart, than the other person, just by doing something good for them.
Let's take care of each other - you don't have to have money, go visit someone that is alone, or someone hospitalized, or handicapped living in their home alone. Any one of these people could be any one of us at any time, and I pray there would be someone listening to God asking them to help us, should we need help, or better yet - there to help our family or friends in need.
God bless each and every one of you, and I pray God meets all of your needs according to his riches in Christ Jesus. amen
