This
has been an excellent morning for me, because I allowed the Lord to
do His work through me. Yep,.......That's right,...........I am
excited,............And tickled beyond belief!!! The details
are simple, and I am probably overly excited,...........But it is
what it is what it is!! Wanna hear about it?
I
was walking into one of the million Mickey D’s here, and this guy
ask me if I wanted to put a quarter toward his coffee. I took off my
backpack that I was wearing, and answered affirmative. While I was
digging around for some change,..........The Spirit that I hear often
said, “Ask him if he really wants coffee this morning?”
I
quickly did what I was prompted to do, and the man replied yes.
That little voice that only I could hear this morning quickly said,
“Put your bag up, and tell him that you would be happy to buy him a
whole cup.” You know that I did!!
The
man lifted a burning cigarette. I knew what he was referring to, and
I thought that I knew what he really meant by that gesture. I
told him that I would be inside for a few minutes if he changed his
mind. I figured that I would never hear from him again.
I
walked in, and unloaded my computer. Mickey D's has free Wifi, and
they don't seem to care if you buy something, or how long that you
stay inside. I go to one in front of the hospital, and beside a high
school, so you know that they are always busy!!
I
always get set up, and signed in before I actually make my purchase.
Yes,......I always purchase something from them!! I have seen
the same ole folks in there every time that I am, and they never buy
a thing. Actually,..........Some bring their own food from
home!!
Anyway,.......I
was getting set up, and looked up, and the guy from outside was
standing in front of me without making a noise. I said to him,
“Good,.....Are you ready? …........Let's go.” As I was
standing in line, that all familiar voice went to talking, “ Buy
him a sausage biscuit to go with his coffee.”
While
I was putting in the order for two large coffee's, two sausage
biscuits, and an extra cup for ice. Yes,......Lord,......Yes, I am
one of those that drink their coffee.......Strong, Black, and cold!!
Anyway,.....The man was standing far enough from me that he
couldn't hear what I ordered. When the girl handed it to me she ask
about creamer, and sugar. I called him forward, and told him that he
needed to get what he was going to put in his coffee. I pulled my
biscuit out of the bag, and handed his to him. He smiled a huge
smile.
I
walked back to my table with a big ole smile crossed my face.
How about that? We were both wearing smiles. I couldn't tell
you if the man spoke a word of gratitude. It was not about his
reaction,......It was about mine!! I did everything that I was
told to do,...............And for this I am grateful!!
…........Much Love
