I'm going to trust y'all with something 🙏🏽
Earlier today, my wife and I drove to the local grocery store we frequent. While driving there, the conversation shifted to how truly blessed we feel. Which is not something we discuss a lot. But it came up. We need to acknowledge it more often if I am being honest. But we did today. Today we were thankful.
At the meat counter, I spoke with a young man who has worked there for some time. Behind the meat counter. He is always friendly and positive. He always asks how my weekend is going. He did today. I told him things had been busy, but that I was doing great.
I asked him how he was doing. He said good, but that someone had stolen his E bike while it was parked inside the store in the corner. Some guy walked right out the front door with it.
Now, this young man knows I am a Christian. Because I have told him so. And because I have invited him to attend church with us. But that's not why he told me about the theft of his E bike which serves as his transportation to and from work.
He told me about it because he knows I am a cop.
I covered the usual stuff with him. They had reported it. They had pulled video.
He went on to tell me that, while he was bummed, he was making the best of it because now that he had to walk to and from work he was getting some exercise. And he smiled. And it was sincere.
He packed up my order and held that sincere smile while handing it over. I told him I was sorry about his E bike. He said it was okay. There was something at a nearby big box store he guessed he would get when he saved up some money.
I met my wife, and after plopping the package into the cart I told her what happened. She immediately responded, "We should go get him another bike." I told her I was thinking the exact same thing!
We finished shopping and went to that big box store. $500 and it wasn't even a full size E bike - more like a scooter. We felt like we could do better
We jumped online and found someone selling a full size, like new E bike just a few miles away. It was a little more expensive than the big box scooter but it was a like new, proper E bike. We messaged the seller and she responded immediately!
30 minutes later we had it in the car (it even folds up). And it was fully charged!
We took it to that young man and gave it to him. He responded, "No way!" He asked if he could hug us! Of course we did (yes, I am a hugger....I know i know lol 😊). He said, "I love you guys." We told him we loved him back.
He then said, "You guys answered my prayers." He went on to explain that he had been thinking about how hot it was getting. And he lives a considerable distance from the store.
Like I said....I am trusting y'all with this. I am trusting you to believe me when I say that I'm not telling you this story to promote myself. I am telling you this because some days, I am a lousy Christian. But today, I think we got it right 🙏🏽
Please listen to God. Being the answer to someone's prayers is the most humbling, most amazing experience you can have.
God bless 🙏🏽

@Beez8656 Ok I’m good with the crab cakes, but all that healthy stuff around them would send my body into shock! 😂 Looks great Lisa.
