Last week I received a free ticket to a women's church event I wanted to attend. It only cost $10, but I had been hesitant to purchase a ticket because I wasn't sure the event would be worth it. Then, a young friend of mine who comes in and out of my life (in when she needs help, mostly) saw the ticket when she came to visit me at work. She's been involved in drugs and alcohol and has a generally unhealthy lifestyle. It's been almost six weeks of clean living and she started counseling and getting other professional help. Anyway, she left very broad hints that she would like to attend the party - saying things like "That would be good for me," and "I need to learn how to have clean fun" and so on. So I offered to take her with me.
I ended up buying her $10 ticket on Thursday afternoon. On Friday, I did a favor for someone and they insisted on paying me when they didn't have to. I made an easy $20.
My friend and I had a great time.

You are a good friend. Glad you could be there for her. God always uses those little moments for His greatness.
ReplyDeleteIt is always interesting when we step out in faith to evangelize or be a "good samaritan," how God gives us the tools to do the job that he has called us to. He does not set us up for failure when we are following his will in our lives.
