Of Course She's in Line with Me

I was at Dollar Tree buying items for Spark Ministry for the Reno trip in March. I had all kind of toiletry items in my cart. When I was checking out, the lady behind me asked if I was making goodie bags for someone. She was young, in her 30's. I told her about Spark, and that we minister to women at homeless shelters and she got tears in her eyes. She said she was about to cry. When I asked why, she said "that used to be me." She had left an abusive husband, and taken her kids and lived in a homeless shelter for a while. Her parents had just moved her here, and were helping her get on her feet. She's looking for a job. She said how grateful she was to find a homeless shelter that cared about her and took her family in. Pray for Tanya to find a job. She asked about Spark and I gave her my card and said to call when she wanted to join us on a trip. She really wants to go. She was buying stuff to give her child a birthday party. She was smart buying at the Dollar Tree. As I turned to leave, the HS did it to me again. Why else would he place a once homeless lady behind me in line? Why would she bother to strike up a conversation? I turned back and paid her ticket, and said "the party's on me." She was so shocked, yet so grateful. My heart was full. Maybe I'll hear from her one day.......
