The other day Shane asked me if he could take some of the $20.00 cash that I had in my wallet. He told me that some guys from work (including him) had "adopted" a family who recently lost the Dad due to a major heart attack. The family was losing their home to foreclosure (because he was the breadwinner) and the family car was also being reposed. Shane said he was going to use some of it to put into the pot of cash to purchase last minute items for the family. I told him to just put the whole $20 towards the family. Both Shane and I knew that $20 was a lot for us. However, we have so much...we could sacrifice $20 for a family who had lost so much, their Dad (and husband) and their home. Later that day I checked the mail and there was a letter from Children's Hospital thanking me for filing out a survey for their Shine Newspaper (I do not remember doing this at all) and with the letter was a $100.00 gift card to King Soopers. I was amazed! I almost felt guilty holding this gift card. I never imagined or thought God would bless us with something 5 folds of what we gave earlier that morning.
Another testimony of God's amazing heart.

Last year, I gave some gift cards to a friend who was in need...I then bought a lottery game and won $50...not enough to cover what I gave but I went, well there you have it...
(wish I could have done the cards again...)
