Small Miracles Diary – Post #2

I had the coolest little God-Thing happen this morning! I was doing doordash, (which I started doing a few months ago and I actually like) and I passed a homeless guy sleeping beside a building near the Denny’s I was headed to.

Since I do the doordash in the evenings and overnight when I do it, I’ve noticed a lot of homeless. The first one was at a Wawa, actually. I gave him a few dollars for coffee and a sandwich and felt like he should have a Bible but I didn’t want to give him my pink purse Bible and that was the only one with me at the time. Since that one I’ve started ordering Bibles from Amazon and giving them to these people. It’s not a lot but it has the potential to be life-altering so I plan to keep at it. I usually put in a small gift card for coffee with it and/or money for a snack. I also typed up a paper to ………..introduce them?……….to the Bible as I’m assuming many never have heard it since it’s been a few generations now that God has been taken out of schools and even many of them their parents never knew God either. (I also have left these Bibles on park benches and movie theater seats and I just pray that someone who needs it will find it).

So anyway, usually on a Friday after work I’ll go shopping and pick up a couple of gift cards while at Walmart. This week I was too tired and so just took the Bible, meaning to go to the bank for some cash, which I never got around to doing. Of course. So here I am this morning, and I realized I had only the Bible, not to disregard that as it’s the main thing being given, but I didn’t want the man not to have anything else. So I drove past him to the Denny’s, feeling guilty as sin.

As I was getting out of the car, I felt an urge to take my wallet in and ask for a Denny’s gift card. The Holy Spirit was the one urging, obviously. So I grab my wallet and I had no idea how much to put on the card as I don’t eat there and don’t know the cost of things. I went in and asked for the order I had to get, and asked to buy a gift card, figuring the amount would come to mind when asked by the cashier. Instead she goes, “we don’t have them right now, because I don’t remember how to ring them up”. WTF?! So I go back outside, and was like “ok wtf”? And I was told “I just wanted to see if you would do it”. Because God knows I myself am having money issues at the moment and He apparently wanted to test me. Interesting. But this still left the problem of the man not getting the Bible. I had to deliver the order, it can’t be late. And there wasn’t an ATM nearby either on the route, I kept an eye out and said a quick prayer as well that I would have another chance that morning to drive by and get the man his Bible, and somehow have a chance to get him a gift card or something as well.

Getting to the customer’s house that had ordered the Denny’s, it said she needed the ordered handed to her and to call her. That almost never happens, most people don’t want contact which to me is a huge perk of the job. So anyway she was actually waiting there and came outside without my needing to call……….she said thanks she was very grateful for the delivery service and also handed me cash. Most people I deal with tip on the app and a few don’t bother at all so I was surprised……….but not really.

And I bet you know why I wasn’t surprised, right?! Yes! Because it was God supplying the cash for the homeless man! Of this I am one hundred percent certain, as before I could even count it (not that I would until I drove off anyway. Counting a tip in front of a customer is fucking rude and I would never) another order pick-up came across my phone……….for the same Denny’s! So God supplied the cash to put in the man’s Bible, and also brought me past him again without me having to pause my working or deliver anything late. And when I counted it it was about the same amount of the coffee gift card I usually leave in the bags.

I went to the Denny’s, got the order, and the directions to the customer’s address were so God-given that I didn’t so much as have to U-turn to go past the man. I stopped, got out, and just said “hey, sorry to wake you, but I think you could use this”, and left the bag with the Bible, introduction paper, and coffee money for him. He seemed surprised but just said thanks and then I drove off on my way, thanking Him for helping me to help the man.
