Not sure who needs to hear this or not but let me tell you what happen to us today.
Well driving down the road we seen this homeless lady who had set up homestead near the side of the road. She has a chair and umbrellas prop up to block the sun or rain and some bags of her belongings. She wasn't begging for money or holding up any signs she was just sitting there.
We decided to buy her some food and get some money out to give her.
We pulled up near where she was sitting at, I got out with a pizza in one hand and the drink in another. I greeted her and tried to give her the food and money. She completely refused and said that she has everything she already needs, that she appreciates it but no thank you. I tried again and she thank me again and said no. So I'm like okay well I hope you have a bless day. She thank me and told me bye.
Completely puzzled to what just happened. I get back to the car and told Colton what she said.We both just stare at one another and was in complete shock and begin praying for the lady and praying for God to reveal to us and important lesson on what just happened.
So I was like well maybe it's God telling us that we need to be more appreciated of the things we do have then what we don't have. And Colton agreed.
Well tonight I was working on some stuff on the computer, and this Bible verse pop up.
Hebrews 13:5
"keep your life free from the love of money, and be content with what you have. I will never fail you I will never abandon you"
This woman has absolutely nothing yet she was so nice and very content with what she had. We get so caught up in society with wanting more things in life and even getting upset with anger or sadness of worrying when we don't have it. Yet this woman literally is living on the side of the road with nothing and is completely happy.
Definitely an eye opener for me. Makes me just want to walk around the house thanking God for each single thing we have. I struggle with worrying about how we going to get this or that, and sometimes it ruines my entire mood for the day. I got to start doing better and not let it get me down so much.
I hope you have a blessed and wonderful night!
