A Most Humbling Event

Let me first say that with S's medical problems of the last couple of years, money has been tighter than we like. Currently we still have an appeal going on with our health insurance company regarding S's procedure back in April. S has also been docked some of her pay because she is out of sick time (an adjustment was made to her last paycheck in fact). But we have been able to manage (I think) pretty well. Not even our giving to the church has suffered.

Well today S and I had a rather humbling experience. Our pastor pulled both of us aside today. It seems that a good samaritan in our church has taken S's plight to heart, and we were handed an envelope. When S opened it, we were shocked. There was a considerable amount of cash inside. We didn't know what to say. We don't know who to thank - except for God himself. Yeah, money has been a little tight, and perhaps God upon hearing my concern, put it upon someone's heart to help us out some.

I am still numb from what happened to us today. The money is just about what we need - no more, no less. That in itself is amazing and awesome.

Dear Lord, we are so thankful - and humbled - by the blessing that we have received today. It is so generous. I ask you to abundantly bless those who gave from their heart. Amen.
