A blessing
Posted: Sat Feb 26, 2011 1:54 pmAs i type this i am still amazed. I just HAD to share this.........
One of my favorite songs is Bring the Rain by MercyMe. Well, a couple three weeks ago i had bid on it on ebay and won, but then circumstances prevented me from being able to make payment, i sent an apology....
well...... a few days later a package came in the mail. It sat on my table for a few days as i had intended to send it back to sender as i had not paid.
Being imperfect, today i opened it intending to listen to it and send them a note saying they had accidently sent it to me and i would pay on payday or send it back whichever they preferred.
So, i open it and theres a sticky on the cover. Said was sending it to me anyway and to enjoy that their favorite on the CD is bring the rain... no charge.
Well, totally floored me.......a stranger, someone from a few states away showed mercy grace AND reached out to a total stranger. To this person it might have seemed like a small thing to show such mercy and grace and love for a total stranger. This seemingly simple act touched my heart deeply and has restored my faith in well for lack of a better word humanity (you know the acts we perform that come from God, not US,,, i dont really have a word for that) A person i never met, showed tangible evidence of fruits of the Spirit.
What a delight and blessing!!!!!!!!! Praise God.. you never know the little things u might do or say to help another person just how big of an impact it will have.
SO, it is with renewed faith, spirit and humility that i am writing this, in thanks to a stranger who took a little time to show fruits of the Spirit.
