Today I went to volunteer at the women's shelter. When I was reaching, it rained rather heavily. As I do not have the habit of putting an umbrella in my bag, I thought I could purchase an umbrella at the minimart when I alighted.
Upon reaching the minimart, I searched for the umbrella. After finding the umbrella, I looked around at the cashier's counter for payment method. My heart sank when I saw, "Cash Only". Thinking that I do not have enough cash, I enquired about the price of the umbrella. When the cashier told me it was $6, I was surprised and thankful. I didn't know that a big umbrella would cost this cheap! I searched for $6 and was doubtful as I only had coins. Amazingly, I had coins that made up $6. I'm so grateful to God for watching over me. (I would be late if I had not enough cash!)
I was a little anxious volunteering today because I am the only volunteer helping to care for the babies. When I knew that I was going to be the only one there the night before, I prayed for God to be with me so that I could serve.
When I reached, I was tasked to play, help baby sleep and cut finger nails. I had lots of trouble cutting Mendell's nails but when the baby slept in my arms, I had no trouble doing it at all! It was such a great accomplishment! ☺
My heart is so full thinking about how God partnered me so that I could serve. I'm immensely thankful.
Love,
Pam
