In summary, my last two statuses have been about God providing opportunities and acts of random kindness. Just a coincidence that they are linked. An example of that is this morning. As I was paying for fuel, a man had just paid for his, his wifes, and his sons lunch using one card, but it got declined. His problem was, he didnt have any money on his other cards to pay for it. Not knowing what to do, he went to find his wife outside to speak to her - theres my opportunity I felt - I go over to the cashier and say Ill pay for it. The man gets wind of this and is stunned... Mind.... Blown... Were his exact words. He repeated those words a few more times. I told him to be blessed by it, and to enjoy his day. He and his wife came to me as I was getting in the car and shook my hand. Thanking me so much. It was my absolute pleasure to be able to bless them in that way, and that is what I told them. He said, god bless you, so I replied by thanking him, and returning the gesture (but knowing that he had just been blessed by God). I drove off, watching their faces in shock. Im not saying this because I want any credit, if you know me well youll know thats not me. God takes the credit for giving me the opportunity. Im saying this because it puts everything into perspective. If something that small can bless and shock someone that big, with all the crap and negative stuff in the news, then lets change the atmosphere and do more stuff like this. Christian or not. Lets get positive news. in the news! I believe God gave me an opportunity to show his love to one of his children, so I took it. I didnt have to preach to him afterwards about knowing god, it was just an opportunity to share gods love, and those actions will speak much louder than words. A seed has been planted in him, that he is a man of true value just like everyone else in the world is. You too, reading this, are special, one of a kind and very highly regarded. Be blessed.
