A Delayed Revelation by 'tapping into his treasures' on Thursday, January 24, 2013 at 3:31pm · It is frigid in the Northeast this week. I put some anti-freeze in my gas tank a couple of night's ago, but yesterday it was too cold for me to go out to start my car. Today I put on layers of outerwear including three hats and two scarves and went outside to start my car which started on the first turn....yea! I wanted the engine to run for a while so I sat there trying not to concentrate on the cold. What came to my mind was the $60.00 that my house guest left in my daily devotional on my bedside table over the weekend. I was stunned to received the gift, yet I wanted to accept it graciously and not give her a hard time. As the engine revved up, my mind continued to ponder about the sizable gift. One third of that amount would have been too much so far as I was concerned. And then it came to me: two weeks ago today I traveled to New Hampshire to visit a good friend of mine who is like a son to me, who was released from prison after serving a term of over 20 years during which time I was his only visitor. We couldn't wait to have lunch together on the outside. I bought him a small microwave oven for he had no kitchen facilities in the tiny room he rented. I also filled a laundry basket with kitchen items which I gathered from my cupboards. What a delightful reunion it turned out to be. As I drove home on the Maine turnpike I thought about when and if I would ever be able to afford to meet with him again in the future. I began to calculate the cost of gas for the trip, the cost for the tolls and the money I spent for the lunch. It added up to $60.00. I couldn't afford it, but I was happy to obey the Lord and to make the trip to bless a man who spent most of his twenties, all of his thirties and more than half of his forties incarcerated. And then I got the connection.....the reason that God had my house guest give me $60.00 is because that is the amount of money I spent to bless someone two weeks ago....the exact amount. I also realized that God waited until I had those uninterrupted few moments to reveal that thought to me. ...praise Him.
