I was driving home last Friday at about 9:50 from Starbucks. On my way, i was thinking to myself, I really need to stop spending money on stuff and just save it. So, I was almost home and I turned the corner and there was someone pushing their truck in the middle of the street. Without even thinking, I pulled into the gas station on my side of the street, and ran over to help push. I didnt know if it was a guy or a girl(probably not the best situation at first) anyways, I was like do you need help and the lady was like you, you are an angel. So we pushed her truck into the gas station opposite my truck. I told her good night and walked back to my truck. I was going to drive home, but something inside me just felt like I needed to make sure she was going to be ok. So I drove over and asked if she was going to be alright. She asked to use my phone and I let her. She left the person a message, asking if they would come pick her up.
She told me she hadnt made it to the bank that day and had no money at all and hadnt even gotten food stamps. My heart broke and told her I would fill her truck up. She was amazed and I told her it was really no problem. Trying to fight back the tears she told me about her daughters and the situation at her apartment. Before leaving, i just handed her some money and told her I would pray for her.
It was an amazing night and I know that God wanted to show me that He blesses us so that we can bless others. I really had to be put in check and know that God gave me all that I have and its His money, not mine. I really thank God for that night and for everything that He has blessed me with. I have not had an experience like that for a really long time.
This verse is a daily reminder of God's love and faithfulness to us. "For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future" (Jeremiah 29:11).
