As I stood at the register about to order me some tots, I heard a little fella ask, "Can I just get a salad?" Unfortunately the answer would be no. Why's this matter? The kid's lunch account was past due, capping out at $5 meaning a cheese sandwich, a fruit, and a milk would be his lunch until the balance was paid and a credit was put on his account, or until his family turned in the paperwork to gain "Free/Reduced Lunch" status.
The kiddo walked away from the register with food in hand and I thought, "God, I can't fix everything and I can't pay for everything, but at this moment I know You have blessed us enough for me to buy some extra tots and share!" So the sweet serving ladies scooped me up TWO servings of tots - after I informed them I needed two separate servings, I wasn't THAT hungry for tots - and off I went. I delivered the tots to the little fella, patted his head, and turned to go back to my office.
No over-the-top delivery, no moment of "here you go, sweet child... oh, thank you thank you thank you!" Nope. And NONE NEEDED. If God says He has blessed us and we are to be a blessing to others (Genesis 2:12), there is nothing more needed than the feeling from the Spirit that I obeyed that nudge at my heart, that I loved on someone today the way I felt led, and I have more than enough... my cup runneth over!
