RL Stories....

That was so freakin awesome. I woke up this morning thinking about where and when I could use RL today. I was so stoked, I couldn't wait to try it. So I pull into Bojangles. Two cars jumped in front of me in line. So, now there was nobody behind me. I was so bummed. It was almost my turn to order, so I asked the Lord to put somebody in line behind me. At that moment an old red clunker pulled up behind me and it appeared to be a husband and wife. I order and get out my debit card and the RL card. As I pull up to the window, the lady tells me my total. I said " I would like to pay for the person behind me as well". She gave me this look of confusion and said OK. She rings me up and goes to hand me my card back and says "Are you sure". I said "yeah". She gives me my card back and my receipt, but not theirs. I start seeing a few employees gather around. I ask her for a copy of their receipt. She leans over and asks another employee for their receipt. He says "Why". She says "Because he paid for theirs" All of a sudden there are 4-5 employees standing around doing nothing, looking at me like I was a ghost. Haha..it was so killer dood. So I give her the RL card and said "Would you give this to them, and tell them to consider this not a gift from me, but a gift from Jesus Christ". At this point, she is the one looking like a ghost. I started to realize that this was not just witnessing to the person behind me, but to all of the employees that were staring at me like I was crazy. As I pulled away I began weeping and I was hit with a priceless revelation. The feeling that I got when we were able to help send that girl on an ambassador trip, was the same feeling I had by spending only $7.56. It doesn't matter whether we spend $5000 or $500 or $7.56, giving is giving and I truly feel that I was more blessed by being able to buy their lunch than they were by receiving a free lunch. Thank you for these cards and for sharing this passion with us and the rest of the church. What I have realized is that, this is just the tip of the Iceberg. We are going to be able to advance the Kingdom of Heaven and destroy the works of the enemy with huge strides. And give all the glory to God.
