April 13 - Laly Zambrana

On Saturdays I have my groceries delivered. I normally give $10-20 tip. Today I didn’t have anything smaller than a $50. Of course my flesh kicked in and it was just whispering $50 $50 $50??? That’s a lot for a tip at the same time I was hearing the Holy Spirit say give the $50. I started praying asking the Lord to forgive me. I prayed that the person who comes would be someone who needed it.

My groceries came. It was a woman in her fifties I’d say and when she dropped the last bag I handed her the folded bill and said Thank you , God bless you. She returned the same words.

A few minutes later the doorbell rang, it was her. She asked if I knew what I gave her, I said I did. She asked if I was sure, I told her yes, a little something from the Lord. She started crying and put her fingers on her mouth and said “you have no idea what kind of day I am having”. I asked if I could hug her and I did. We both cried, two strangers that the Lord put together. I was crying at God's faithfulness and how amazing He is. How humbling it was for me, that He allowed me to be a part of this blessing.

She turned and started to walk away and looked back raised the folded bill and said, “this is for my kids”.
