Giving

It's hard to give when you dont have it to give.  Yes, I can pray for you all day everyday but giving is something special. 

This lady came up to me yesterday while I was pumping gas. I get approached the most at gas stations, I'm assuming its the hotspot for people in need.  She said ma'am, I dont mean to scare you but I just want to know if I can get a little bit of help.  Mind you, I dont look rich, but I get approached like this maybe once a month it seems.  After I heard her story, my heart got the best of me and I thought to myself even though my funds are a little tight, I'm going to help her. 

When I told her, I could only give her 20 bucks, she cried and started saying "Thank you, Jesus" several times.  I gave her the money then told her I will keep her in my prayers. 

I gave to her because, there have been times when I needed help and someone helped me.   My eyes are welling up.  *give me a minute*.

I am very careful when approached like that, I dont give to every person who steps to me.  Something about this person felt very genuine. 

Have a blessed day y'all.

Peace.
