Nothing about the woman indicated a need, but, I felt I should speak to her. So... I did. I went up to her and said, "Huh, excuse me, but, I just wanted you to know that the Lord has heard your prayers and knows your need." She looked at me with surprize then started crying. She told me her husband was in bad health and they were having financial problems. Since she was looking at winter coats, I assumed she needed one (and didn't buy one). So... I got their address, and today, I'm taking my wifes winter coats to her, (which I have held on to all this time for some strange reason) along with some canned food items I have no need for. I pray it is a blessing to them.
This brought tears to my eyes. Thank you for sharing. Awesome story!
