What she said! Anyone whom you come across in your life that you can help is “the poor” and your neighbor. We had a blowout on our RV that put us in a rest stop on I25. The next morning a trucker came over and asked if we had any paper towels. I asked him what he needed them for and he said to make coffee. I said that a number one coffee filter would do better and gave him a box. Abba Father takes care of our smallest needs, but one has to be alert to when one is being used as the instrument of His Grace.
Oh, well said!
I would have assumed the trucker wanted to wipe up a spill and just given him the paper towels ;-).
“I said that a number one coffee filter would do better and gave him a box”
That’s exactly what we should do. The guy wasn’t poor, and your salvation isn’t in the balance. But things like that are what it’s all about in life.
