Do you remember a few days back, God was teaching me to live for Today. Not to be worrying about tomorrow, but to know that He will take care of us today?
We left the house with only the $6 cash that our host friends gave us to get a little dinner after our show. They were watching our kids, which was worth 700x the $6 they donated to our stomach fund. 🙂 We had no other cash, and for all intents and purposes, nothing in our bank accounts.
But, we had joy.
Really, we did. We were not worried about what is next, not worried about our bills, or our food, or our kids. We really both knew God was going to take care of that.
We sang for about 10 people total. Mostly it was 3 nice old ladies. (And the store owner/sound guy along with another musician who sang that night). The music was well received, and as I sang it, my heart was lifted as I remembered the truth of what I sang – life really is all about being a child of God. Trusting him, spending the days with him, loving him, being loved by him… everything else then falls into place.
Including money.
After everything was over, the store owner pulled me aside, and said he wanted to give us a check, but he needed to go home to do it… so he asked if we could wait around a bit. He also mentioned he wanted to give us a THOUSAND DOLLARS.
Dude.
I just can’t even explain to you how this feels, even as I type this a day later. That someone we don’t even know would be SO AMAZINGLY generous to us… is beyond comprehension.
God provides yet again. In a spectacular way. At just the right time. Using his people to both give and be given to.
Whoa.
Dude.
Amazing.
Unreal.
Cool. 🙂
