Thanks for sharing this! What an awesome story. What jumped out at me is this line: He is not asking me to save the world, He is asking me to pay attention to an individual that He has brought into my life.
Matthew and I have had a hard spring, summer, and fall full of a lot of jobless time after TWO layoffs. We are really at a breaking point right now, but the love that has poured out of unsuspecting places has been so rich and SO from Him. I had a brand new friend bring me bread and she had enclosed a very large sum of cash in the bag. She even baked the bread herself. I was hit in a way I had never been hit by God's love. I had always been the giver and never the receiver. I am so humbled.
I don't get to talk to a lot of actual grown-ups during the day, so your comments make me really happy! :)
