Blessings are often wrapped as a surprise package...do you agree?

Answer 1

That is great, one day I pulled into a self serve service station, paid for my gas but discovered I didn't need all the gas I paid for and didn't have time to go get a refund, there was a black man sitting in his car behind me and I asked him if he could use $ 10 worth of extra gas. He said he had just put his last $3 dollars worth of gas and was praying that he would have enough gas to get to work. He thanked me over and over and was praising God. Now I had never used that particular station before or since, never made a mistake like that before or since. Do you think his prayer was answered?

Answer 2

Yes, God IS good. He not only sent the help she needed, he gave the guy an opportunity to prove he was reformed.

Answer 3

Loved it!

A survivor, of hurricane Katrina, took one look at me & stated, while he was standing in water up to his hips and I was in the rescue boat: "I ain't grabbin' no hand from the likes of you."
My hair was only 1 inch long at the time & easier to get bugs & crap off of. I knew who he thought I was.
I promptly told him: Either grab my hand & get in this da** boat or I'll let your friends, behind you, have fun with your a**.
He looked around & got in the boat.
Never! And I mean never, turn down a helping hand when gators are afloat.
True story!!!

Answer 4

Great story. I ask the Lord everyday not to let me miss a blessing. My eyes easily get fogged by my thinking.

Answer 5

Oh yes, I agree. We shouldn't question when we are sent blessings, we should just thank the Lord and take advantage of them.

Answer 6

Great story! Blessings come in unlikely packages...

Answer 7

Uh, while it's a nice story and all, is there any proof that it happened? It sounds like it was made up to illustrate the point but does nothing to actually prove the point - there is a difference.

Answer 8

A great God indeed :)

Answer 9

Great...one never can really ever know where miracles come from!

Answer 10

Thank you
