An Unexpected but Welcomed "Thank-You"

4/10/2014

1 Comment

 
Tap, Tap, Tap… on the HOPE Chest Office door...

“May I help you?”  I asked.

“I just wanted to say ‘thank you’.  The HOPE Chest and Dave helped me a while back when I REALLY needed help.  I am just wanting to give you this as a ‘thank you’ for all the HOPE Chest did for me when I so needed your help.”

She humbly handed me a hard earned 20 dollar bill. Her eyes spoke volumes of sincere gratefulness.  I asked her name and thanked her on behalf of the HOPE Chest and Dave and the whole HOPE Team.

“May I give you a hug?” I asked. She gladly opened her arms. Her story, her gift, her embrace left me thanking God for once again the many opportunities we have at the HOPE Chest to bless others.  But today I was also thanking Him for the blessing He just gave me through this woman’s brief but sincere visit to my office.  

Thank you God for this dear lady and the many we call Team HOPE who donate to the HOPE Chest so together we can give HOPE and Help Other People Excel.

God Bless the lady! People in need really do appreciate the kindness shown. So thankful for places like The Hope Chest! We have had to use the Hope Cupboard a couple of times. Thank you :)
