Oh brother…
September 23, 2008
Last Sunday was by far one of my favorite services! Witnessing your excitement was infectious to the core. I so enjoyed calling my mom who lives in Virginia and telling her about your ‘kid in the candy store’ attitude for Jesus! (By the way, I’ve wanted to thank you & Joe for a while now… for everything you do!)
Anyway, a few hours ago my daughter, my husband and myself landed in a McDonald’s drive through. I had my, “Because You Matter To God” card ready. We ordered 3 dollar menu items, drove to the window to pay, handed the cashier the card and said we were paying for the SUV behind us and to please give her the card too. The cashier had already scanned my husbands credit card and said he couldn’t scan it twice in a row. I asked how much her order was for and I pulled out the $10 I’d been hanging onto for 6 days just for this moment! I knew I’d need it, if you get my drift. *wink wink*
So the deal was done, we drove up to retrieve our bag of food and I was then like a ‘kid in the candy store’ turned around in my seat to see the cashier hand the lady in the SUV the card. It seemed like time stood still, until my husband sped out and drove almost like a maniac for the next mile.. He kept saying, “stop looking back! She might think it was a practical joke and be mad..” Oh brother…
I guess I forgot to mention that my husband is one of the nicest unbelievers you’d ever meet. (We like to call him a pre-believer.) Hopefully these small acts of kindness not only touched the lady in the SUV but also my husband as well!
Rock on Vineyard!!!!!
