A Response

Once up on a time I was away on a two day conference. It was four other woman and me.  One of the nights we were out for dinner.  The check came and I felt/heard 'pay the check'. I talked myself out of it and got up to use the restroom while two of the girls figured out who owed what.  While in the restroom I felt/heard again, ' I want you to pay the check'. OK. I decide if they haven't started collecting money I will pay the check.  When I got back to the table they still were, so I grabbed the check and payed it.  I decided to trust God and pay it.  It is probably important to know that I was being frugal on this trip.  I had planned to spend little and now I had to pay $95 plus tip.  Well, one of the girls said no and grabbed my money purse, I don't know how much she put in, her share was around $20.  The details are important now. This was a Thursday. Saturday I was surprised with a $25 gift card to a local department store.  Monday and then again Tuesday I received two $10 coupons to two local department stores.  And Wednesday I unexpectedly received another $50 in pay from a vitamin company I hadn't earned pay from in months.  Now the math

                                                                   25  + 10 + 10 + 50 = 95.

And if she had put $20 in then she paid the tip.  Within a week I had all the money back (but $1? maybe she put that in too). Not only were their meals paid for but mine as well.  The Lord speaks in a still small voice.  All we have to do is trust and obey.  He won't leave us hanging. I love telling this story of how God provided when I trusted.  This is not to toot my horn but God's!
From this, and many other things, I have learned it never hurts to be generous with the right heart.
