Lesson Learned at Burger King

Okay,
So here goes. I have been out of work since April 2, 2009, but that is okay because God has been calling me to something more. A few months after that I surrendered to be in full-time ministry. Do I know if that is going to happen now or later..no, but God called and I listened which is a good thing. God desires those who will dillengently seek Him. I can honestly say that my lovely wife and I have not needed anything. God has provided for us everything that we need.
I met my wife and some friends at the hospital today as another of our dear friends got to celebrate the beginning of life as they brought little Riley Thomas into the world. I didn't really get to stay long this time but my friends (the parents) looked exhausted and it was definitely time for them to get some much needed rest. So we stopped at Burger King on the way home and talked with another good friend for some time while we waited for the downtown traffic to decrease. Near the end, I went to buy a medium shake and get my wife a free burger that we had won with a pull off of her soda. Well the manager accidently gave me the shake free instead of the burger. When I mentioned it she said do not worry about it, it is okay. So I have $1 left and I put it in my pocket from the savings. We leave go out into our vehicles (me in our SUV) and my wife and another friend in our car. A man approaches me and asks if I could help him get some dinner at BK. Now, I know that some of you at this point are saying...I don't like to give money out because I don't know where it goes. But, here is something for you...First, we don't actually have any money because it all comes from God and we are only getting a chance to hold what God gives us. This should help those of you who have any angst about that. Second, God calls us to give and not just give, but give joyfully. The widow in the Bible gave one mite, which is not much monatarily, but it is all she had and she gave it without reservation.
Okay, back on track...I told then man that I only had $1 (what had been left over). I gave it to him and he went inside. I drove off thinking God thank you that you continue to bless me and my wife inspite of me being..well me. God's grace is truly awesome. Here is where the real lesson kicked in God spoke to me and said, I have been blessing you and and you have continued to bless others because you gave all you had to someone you did not know. God said in His Word that when we give to the least of them that we are giving as if it was to Him! I may never see that man again, but I did what God wanted me to do and I hope you do the same. Your situation may arise differently because God loves to work differently in each situation, but the important thing is that we are always willing to do and go when He calls!
Until the next lesson, I hope you all have a blessed and wonderful day in the name of the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords...Jesus Christ!
