My husband and I had a late night date last night. After a little trip to Target we set out for Sonic with visions of milkshakes and corn dogs dancing in our heads. We pulled in at 10:02 pm only to hear that they had just closed! Thankfully, we have an IHOP. New vision dancing in my head: Blueberry pancakes!
As soon as we walked in we were happy to see a couple we haven't seen in a long while. They also have a teenage daughter and were also on a date. We chatted for a while and caught up a bit and then we were seated at the table behind them.
Toward the end of our time there and just after they had left, our waitress came over to our table to tell us that our friends had paid our bill. Wow! What a blessing! We just had to thank God because he is so good to show his love through his people.
He did the same thing on our way out to California. A sweet young couple generously gave us $160 for our trip to California and a dear lady in California gave us $100 for our trip home. When people give like that, the blessing is so much more than monetary. It's the blessing of love. The love of someone who genuinely cares and the love of the One who cares more deeply than anyone...our amazing God who had planned from the get-go to bless me with a free plate of blueberry pancakes. It was a huge plate, by the way. I think I'll enjoy those leftovers this morning... ;)
