day one: the one hundred dollar bill

A woman at my church came up to me after the service and said she wanted to bless me. She put a folded up bill in my hand and told me to just take it — she was being obedient to the Holy Spirit. A little shocked, I thanked her, and without looking at it, put the bill in my back pocket. Then she treated me and a few other people to lunch at a local Chinese Buffet. To be sure, this woman is NOT rich. She works several jobs as a single mother to support her children two children. Her daughter is going through college and has a small child. All she kept saying was how exhausted she was from her week. And at the end of it all, she decides to give away her hard-earned money and take a few hungry kids, who aren't her own, out to lunch. What a Godly woman!... After lunch, I was given a ride back to my church downtown, as I had hopped in someone else' car (mine was almost out of gas). In the car, I checked my back pocket and discovered the bill my friend had given me. I had forgotten about it. When I pulled it out of my pocket and unfolded it, I saw it was a hundred dolar bill. I thought: OH MY GOSH. WHO GIVES AWAY A HUNDRED DOLLAR BILL???!!!!! The only time I ever receive a hundred dollar bill is once a year on my birthday — thank you, Grandpa. And so the Lord has blessed me. I mean, my friend worked hard all week (or at least for a couple of days) for that money, and she gave it to me.

Here is how I will spend the hundred dollar bill:

• $10 to The Green House ministry
• $10 gas for my car & a cup of espresso
• $70 to pay off my outstanding Bursar balance at Oklahoma State University

Is this money well spent? What would YOU have done with the hundred dollar bill?

peace,
