EXPERIENCE FEEDING THE HUNGRY 2/16/98

Today Wayne took me to Nachos, his favorite Mexican food. I wasn't hungry so I ordered some nachos thinking that I could take them home to our son. I ate about 10 chips loaded with goo and was stuffed and asked for a to-go box.

On our way to the car, I noticed a homeless fellow looking at the boxes. He was wavering and trying to decide if he was going to ask me. As I approached him, he said, “Do you have any extra food you can spare?” I looked inside the top box to make sure it was my meal, then happily said, “Sure, you can have this one!” He was so appreciative and thanked me so much. I said, “Your welcome, God bless you!” He then returned the blessing to me and my family.

As we parted, I looked back over my shoulder and he had already opened the box and was munching away. I was tickled that I had ordered the one heavily loaded with meat, beans, cheese, olives and tomatoes, etc. so he was getting some nutrition. I was so tickled at being able to give to him, it felt so good, words can't even explain it. I thought about him many times the rest of the day and that is one man who has a storage of prayers loaded up for him!!! Someday I will meet him in heaven.

It truely is more blessed to give than to receive.

Acts 20:35 NKJV

And remember the words of the Lord Jesus, that He said, 'It is more blessed to give than to receive.'"
