Curbside Blessing

Yesterday while I was out and about, something wonderful happened.

I was in my friend's car and was about to get out but couldn't because we were too close to the curb and the door wouldn't open.

So I asked her to back the car up, let me out, and then park.

She did, and I got out.

While she was readjusting the car I happened to look into the street next to the curb. Something caught my eye.

I looked closer and sticking out from under a pile of leaves was the end of a $100 bill. I reached down and pinched the corner of the bill and gently pulled. The leaves were wet so the bill was too.

As I pulled, more and more of the bill became visible until I finally had an IN TACT ONE HUNDRED DOLLAR BILL in my hand. WHOA!!!

A ONE HUNDRED DOLLAR BILL!!!

As my friend was parking the car, I'm waving the bill in front of the car.

She finally parks and says, "Tell me that is not what I think it is."

I said, "Oh yeah...it's what you think it is!"

I was amazed, and very quickly thanked God for such a blessing.

As you may recall, I've been unemployed for a week now. Not stressing over it though. Even with our country's less than "AAA" rating, this situation has not phased me one bit.

Did I NEED that $100.00?

Of course I did!

Interestingly though, the moment it came into my possession I knew that it had to go right back to someone else. I offered it to my friend because I owe her $90.00

She wouldn't take it.

I have another friend to whom I owe $60.00

Called her up, and she's in Big Bear, so I couldn't give it to her.

Called up the last person to whom I owe money and finally had a taker. I owed him $300.00, so I was able to lessen the debt by $100.00

So I gave him the money but not without first telling the story of how it came to be. Funny thing about it is that, as soon has he left me, he had to go give the money to someone he owed.

Guess we'll call this "The Circle of Money". Never stays in one place. Just moves from one hand to another.

So, Let the DIALOGUE begin! Have you ever found any money? If so, how much?

Talk to me!

Til next time...
