So I wanted to share my free lunch experience the other day. I woke at 6:30 am to get my day started but fell back asleep until 6:45 and then lounged in the bed for another 15. We've all been there but this only left me about 20 minutes to get ready, eat, make my lunch, and get out the door. I was able to do everything but make my lunch. My wife and I had made an agreement to stop spending so much on eating out so I was faced with a decision, starve, go in late, or buy lunch out. I realized that I had some fruit in my cubicle at work but this wouldn't hold me over. Since I wanted to be diligent in saving money and cannot afford to be late I made the decision to tough it out and go to work without packing a lunch.
Once at work a fellow coworker came to me to to ask me to pray for his family as his wife was stalked the night before. After our conversation he turned and left only to return about 3 minutes later. He pulls out his wallet and takes out what looks like a check and drops it on my desk. I made a small joke about him paying his dues until I looked at the paper. It was a free lunch voucher at our campus cafeteria for 5.00! I couldn't believe it! I was able to buy a chicken sandwich with the money.
I am a Christian and even though I made a sacrifice, my God made sure that I was taken care of. BTW, it was the biggest piece of chicken I ever had from that cafeteria in a sandwich. Praise you Father and all glory to You.

Love this story! God is awesome and it's so cool when he does these kinds of things.
ReplyDeleteJoHannna,
ReplyDeleteThanks! I'm glad to be able to share it. I think more people should share how God has blessed in their lives. It gives glory to God, strengthens believers, and proves to all the God is active all around the world every second of the day. Can you imagine the faith of believers if every day their was a website that people could tap into to see all of the miracles God was performing daily?! What a witness that would be!
Again, thank you for your post and I hope you enjoying my future posts. Please feel free to share a blessing from your life too.
Many blessings on you and your family :)
