This really neat thing happened though…I was trying to put change in my jacket pocket and it flew all over. There was young girl, maybe about age 8 or 9 who saw me struggling with my pocket, purse and my roll of wrapping paper. She came over and picked up all of the change off the floor and I know God spoke to me and said …”Give it to the young girl,” and so that is what I done. She handed me the money just beaming and I said to her. Here you keep it and thank you for helping me. Her face lit up and I watched her get all excited and she headed out the door and I figured to tell her mom and dad and so I thought I better follow so that they know what a good daughter they have and when I went out the door …behind this young precious girl, she darted up to the good will ringer and dropped the change in the red pail like the very excited young girl who just couldn’t wait to do that. I was in shock…She didn’t head for the bubble gum machines, nor the pop machines nor the toy department but to the good will can and dropped the money in there. Boy was I ever blessed. What a blessing that little girl is.
