Helping in Walmart
Posted by Stories | Filed under faith stimulus
I had been carrying the envelope with me for a couple of weeks, praying and waiting for God to nudge me who do give it to. Do I give it to someone I know? Do I give it to my waitress at a restaurant? I knew God would let me know when and who. My daughter and I were at Walmart on University, somewhere we don’t usually find ourselves. This particular Walmart carries a product the other locations don’t. As we were standing in line to make our purchase we noticed a mother in front of us searching in her purse for more money to cover her total. As she searched she came up empty and asked the clerk to take some of the items off. I felt a small nudge but dismissed it. I didn’t want this to be from me I wanted it to be from God. I continued to look at the items around the register, all the while I am noticing more items being taken off. Just then I felt more of a jerk than a nudge, to GIVE THE ENVELOPE TO HER! So I swallowed and said “ok Lord!” I took the envelope out of my purse and explained to the young mother that I had been waiting for God to let me know when to use this and He is telling me this is the time. She opened it and gasped. I had chosen not to open the envelope and wasn’t sure how much was in it. She pulled out $50 and it covered her entire bill and she had some to spare. After she gathered herself from the shock of everything, she turned and introduced herself and shook my hand and gave a sincere thanks. I simply told her to not thank me thank God, He told me to give it to you! We then paid for our items and went on our way. GOD IS GOOD!
