‪Christmas Eve 2019.

A simple act of generosity can change someone’s whole perspective, today’s testimony:‬

‪My office had a little gift exchange and I received a $25 Starbucks. I felt the inclination right away to give it away rather than keep it for myself.‬

‪I was like alright, let me remind myself that giving is an action and generosity is a matter of the heart. ‬

‪And I prayed, I’ve been praying, I said, “God, this is from you, may it be used by you to bless another.”‬

‪Leaving church this afternoon there is always this gentleman waving goodbye to cars. As I saw him, I felt the urge to give him something today.‬

‪I always keep some cash in my car now but Allen received the gift card from 2 weeks prior. ‬

‪I could sense his excitement, he was more happy simply that I stopped my car on the side of the parking lot and walked over to him as so many simply drove by him. ‬

‪It was a wonderful gift to him and I’m glad that I could have even a small impression on such a kind-hearted gentleman. ‬
