Today I was overwhelmed by a random act of kindness- truly a gift from God.
This morning, I got a message from a friend. She had something to drop off at my house. I told her where I lived and she said she'd drop it off. I was curious to know what she had to drop off, but she gave no hints. This evening, I got a message from my husband that she had been by. And, when I asked what she dropped off, I couldn't believe it! He said she had groceries! Bags of groceries! That in itself is overwhelming.
But, even more amazing is this. A couple days ago, my husband called me and told me the fridge was acting weird. The next day, he told me the fridge had stopped working and we lost everything in there. That's not good news- especially when on a tight budget. Luckily, my husband was able to fix it and we avoided having to call someone or get a new fridge. But, that still left us with an empty fridge.
But, here's the thing. I don't remember telling anyone this. Not because I wasn't telling anyone but because I've been so busy working! So, I'm not sure if she knew or not. But, I do know that today I was truly blessed by someone's kindness. And, I thank God for the people He constantly puts in my path!
“Jesus replied: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’” Matthew 22:37-39
