An Easter Act to Remember

--by god4me, posted Oct 26, 2010

Two years ago, on the day before Easter, I had given my three children money instead of Easter baskets. Later that evening, we were all sat watching TV, when an infomercial came on about starving children.

I couldn't help tearing up when my children said, "Mom, can we give our Easter money to these children?" I told them yes and that God was going to bless them for this. I wrote a cheque and sent it off in the mail. I wanted to go get them Easter baskets for their kind act, but I didn't have any more money.

To my surprise, on Easter morning, a couple of ladies from a church we used to attend came over with a big box. I didn't open it until they left, and when I did, tears started streaming down my and I fell to the floor with gratitude. It contained Easter baskets for my children and a gas card for my family.

The universe is good and sometimes knocks you on your knees in tears from the way it works...
