I am thankful for the 13 cent dinner. You may be wondering what I mean by that, saying Orange guy, dinners don't cost 13 cents. Well let me explain. This last week my wife and I celebrated our anniversary and to celebrate, we took a trip to California. This is where the true blessing came in. My brother and his wife have become wonderful at being hosts. I believe that God gave this gift of hospitality to my sister in law so that she may demonstrate how God loves us. My brother and his wife wanted us to stay in their house as a gift to us so that we didn't have to pay for hotels or stay with my parents for our anniversary. The trade off was that we would take care of their cats and water their plants. We knew going in, that this was the trade off plan. What we didn't know, and didn't ever expect was their above and beyond kindness they showed us. They had the room we were staying in completely furnished and loaded up with gifts for us, which included gift cards, candy, snacks, sodas, Gatorade, a kite, and beach towels. This made it so that during our stay we didn't even have to pay for food. They gave us more than we needed and that what brings me to the 13 cent dinner. We are still being blessed by their generosity. I am so thankful for my brother and his wife. I never expected them to display God's grace to my wife and I in this way. Thank you brother and wife.
I pray that you strive to demonstrate kindness and bless others. If you haven't been blessed greatly in this way, know that God loves you and wants to show you grace. In his grace he offers you a free gift of salvation. If you accept Jesus as your Lord and savior, when your life ends all pain will be conquered. Sadness will be no more. injustice will all be taken care of. Salvation is free.
