True Story Friday

Ok, so I thought I’d share a slightly humorous story that was conveyed to me yesterday.

One of our worship team members was on the way home from a very popular fast food restaurant. On the way home she needed to stop by the CPA’s office quickly to drop off some papers, so when she pulled in there, she noticed what appeared to be a homeless woman rummaging through a dumpster behind the office. That area downtown is where homeless people congregate frequently. She might have been looking for food, she might have been looking for treasure, who knows.

Anyways, feeling the prompting of the Spirit to stop and share God’s love with this woman, my friend decided to go for it. She hadn’t yet touched the combo meal she had purchased just minutes before, and felt that she could offer it to the woman if she wanted it.

My friend went over to her and asked her if she was hungry and if she needed something to eat. The woman responded that she was very hungry and thanked my friend for asking.

My friend was stoked at the response, feeling as though she had truly followed the leading of the Lord in this particular situation, so she offered her the untouched fast food meal.

To which the woman promptly replied, “Oh I can’t eat that, I’m a vegetarian.”
