During a "typical" morning last week, something "atypical" occurred. The author was getting a medium soda with a shot of blue raspberry syrup at a local convenience store. It was a former Seven-Eleven that is operating under a new "regional" banner.
As he approached the register, he noticed that a young woman was waiting behind him with a large cup of coffee. It just so happened that the author had a five dollar bill on him; he usually pays with plastic. He thought this should comfortably cover the cost of a soda and coffee.
So, as he waited, he contemplated buying the young woman a cup of coffee. When his turn at the register arrived, a "still, small" voice said, "Do not buy her coffee." He felt like arguing, but did not. He did not ask, "Why not? It is only about $1.50! And, it might lift her spirits!" He just listened.
When he reached the register, the clerk asked, "Is that (the soda) all for you?". He said, "Yes.". And, the clerk said that it was on the house. He also did the same for the lady after him with the cup of coffee.
So, the Lord granted the desires of his heart and then some. His "impromptu" friend got her free cup of coffee and he kept his five dollar bill for another purpose.
Although a "small" thing, it is quite amazing how the Lord works at times.
May El-Olam be praised.
