Yesterday I went to buy bread and pick up groceries. As I came down from car and wait for my order, a man approached me. He opened his hands with some coins, told me that his pay only comes on Monday, and asked me if I could help him. I took $2.1 from my pocket and I gave him the $2. He said,”thank you mate, thank you mate.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I entered the bread shop to buy our usual bread. I was shocked that the price has increased by almost 7% for bread. As I left the bread shop still in disbelief, I thought probably I shouldn’t be too generous with the man asking money, who knows he’s just lazy and not really in need. As I went into the car, I passed the man, and he kept saying, “thank you mate, thank you mate.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then my wife called, asked me to get chicken for lunch. So I went to the nearby supermarket to get the usual roasted chicken. To my delight, I found the chicken was discounted. So I quickly got one and went home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After lunch, I reflected on the incident; I gave $2 to a man that asked me, and the price of daily bread went up by almost 7%. But at the end, I got chicken for lunch on promotion that cover the $2 and 7% increased in bread. I felt as if God was telling me not to worry, that He would take care <\/em>of us.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
