Hallelujah!

Greetings ya'll!  Did we or did we not tell you that you will be given all the tools you need if you remain positive and have faith?  For  us, it was in the form of an actual pastor, who wishes to remain anonymous.  But he definitely went above and beyond, both in helping his fellow man and meeting our needs.  We tried to go through the proper channels making an appointment to meet with a salvation army representative and requesting the local number for traveler aid, and was given an appointment time at their local outreach office, located in aforementioned church.  Well, we showed up, the rep, well...not so much.  The church secretary was kind enough to get her on the phone with us, and after an almost hour long rigmarole to get us the proper paperwork, she proceeded to tell us that she couldn't help us until we were employed, and failed to give us any more reference numbers we requested.  Through all this, unbeknownst to us, the pastor was listening to all the goings on.  After we left to wait for the food pantry, he sent someone to request a moment of our time.  He asked us what it was that we were trying to accomplish by contacting the S.A.  We told him we were stranded in ( name of town deleted). and were trying to get back to a nearby town for a few job interviews we had set up.  Long story short, NOT ONLY did he donate a little gas for us, he completely FILLED our tank!  Not a cheap thing to do at all.  On top of that, he donated to us personal care items, filled our dry pantry and best of all, rented us a hotel room for the night so we could sleep in a big REAL bed, have air conditioning ( a must have here) and be able to get a good nights sleep and clean up to be presentable for our interviews tomorrow.  ON TOP OF ALL THAT,  the amazing workers at a nearby KFC ( mmm!) donated us a meal after we politely asked, but wait there's more...after one of the coworkers overheard our story, she said, and I quote " aww, go on and throw em an 8 piece, its on me" ( which miraculously turned into a 12 piece btw). " that way they don't have to worry where their next meals coming from either."  Now, ya'll, I'm the first person to preach god helps those who help themselves and have faith and all that...but the pure generosity of complete strangers today had me on the verge of tears and thanks more times than I can count today.  Once again, you never know what one simple kindness you can do can affect someones life in profound and immeasurable ways.  Oh, and they even donated another meal to our furry little demons too, who are soaking up the air and happier than pigs in shit right now!  Giant smiles all around tonight!  God Bless every one of you!  We'll be back on track tomorrow with the normal schedule, I promise, thanks for going with the flow of the road and bearing with us, loyal followers

                                           

"gonna get by with a little help from my friends" ( or complete and total strangers, you never know)
