"You've got me standing in an awkward position with unwanted attention"

Today is a good day! :)
Ju wana know how come?
I'll tell you!
The sun is shining. It's so warm and sunny. It really puts me in a good mood! But that's not all...
I was talking to someone that I know from church who has an unfortunate illness. She's doing okay, but things are tough for her. She's a single mother of a twelve year old boy. For as long as I've known this woman I've had super respect for her. She's a power house! She's done very well in raising her son on her own, and just impresses me more each time I talk to her. Since she is very sick she's out of work, and I imagine her Dr. bills are astronomical. This presents a problem as it is baseball season and her son needs new equipment. She doesn't have tons of money and was worried about paying for it all. By some act of divine inspiration I jumped in my car and scooted over to Dick's Sporting Goods. I grabbed the store manager and asked him if there was anything we could do. To my great delight he told me that we could help her out! I returned home quickly to tell her the news. She was so grateful and so happy. My heart is SO full of joy today because I'm able to help this family out. I'm so excited to see her son's face when he gets his brand new baseball gear for free!!! What a wonderful blessing!
I'm really beginning to understand that "when you are in the service of your fellow being you are in the service of your God."
BUT THAT'S NOT ALL!!!!
I got my car back today as well! It doesn't look like anything happened to it! What great work. Plus!!! I didn't have to pay for any of the repair. My dad found this wonderful guy that didn't charge US a penny (he only accepted the insurance company's money).
Man oh man! Things may be tough right now, but put your faith in the Lord and he ALWAYS comes through!!! :D
