Not long ago I was in Ballarat in the office at the garage where I had to leave it. I had a friend coming pick me up. While I was there a young couple were going to walk to the wendouree shopping centre, and it had started to rain. She had only a jumper on, while he had a jacket. I could hardly believe they were going to walk (about 2 ks from the garage).
I said - wait, I raced to my car and got out my little fold-up umberella and said, have this, don't worry about bringing it back, I don't need it. They thanked me profusely and left. The staff thought I was wonderful, and I was embarrassed, telling them it had been given to me anyway and I had no use for it, as I always drove everywhere.
2 weeks later, my birthday came, and yes, you might have guessed it, one of my family gave me an umberella, heaps better than the one I gave away, and a lot sturdier, also folding up to fit into my bag. Now just let somebody tell me the Bible isn't true.
Just last week I had somebody quote a Scripture from the Bible, I thought I had hit the jackpot, in the middle of the day, a talk about God! When I started to respond with agreeance, the person said, they didn't really believe it. I said that it was great that they were curious enough to read it, they said, they read it only so they could speak with authority! I was :o dumbfounded, then said that I believed it all and it was so good that it even gave me financial guidance. It seemed to be the only language they understood.

Thats so true Anne.
How often when we give something from a pure motive, God gives something better back to us.
Keep up the conversation.
