GOD'S GOODNESS-MONEY FOR FREE

This actually happened to me some few weeks back but i have not been able to pen it down until now. I remembered so clearly that morning when i looked at the bills that i have extracted from my mail box and realised that we are 2 months behind of our car installment, utilities bills as in electricity and telephone. It may not be any big deal for others but for me then it was disaster cos just a few days back my husband "lost" his salary to the "ah long bank" which because could not contact my husband has taken the liberty to deduct whatever money you have in the salary account as related to the credit card they issued to so called pay off your interest outstanding because overdue for more than 3 months and after letter of demand issued!!!
This realisation plus knowing our current finances situation that we are just "kais pagi makan pagi, kais petang makan petang" meaning living on whatever earned daily....no savings....no extras....earning in right hand.....earnings go in left hand in total!!!
I was like bezerk but i cannot afford to loose my head and worry my husband more....so i just sat and cried and then prayed and asked God what am i to do? Borrow money from who?....no one...don't want to worry my mum and dad and my brother ....no la...he's not going to understand....where to find the money.....and i just asked God how? Please give me a solution.
Guess what .....during that week's sunday when i went to church and after one of the sister in Christ and recently get to know and got close to just stepped up to me and said that God just asked her to do this and gave me an envelope with RM2k in it the almost total sum that was outstanding and she said no need to worry and pay back or conditions attached....it was like it will be ok if i don't return to her the money even and no interest attached and so on.
I am so blessed and i really want to give GOD ALL GLORY DUE to HIM for getting me thru this short span of trouble.
The irony of it is......i wanted to pay off all those outstanding bills without informing my husband but it was not to be....i tried to pay all three but i either don't have the account numbers or there is something missing or the bank machines are out and rejecting acceptance of the deposits....... .......what irony!!!
And all these....i believe was the Lord telling me to just give the money to my husband t settle them whichever way he chooses and as a week later he got his money to settle the issues but it was that short on week that we are out of funds and that "bridging amount" was so crucial to our situation and GOD was so real then to ME!!!
At the time i received the money i also know and have the peace taking it as i know that the LORD wants to bless that sister in return and by my humbling in this, she too will receive her blessings and i now understand how GOD could handle everything so miraculously and the importance of "BEING IN OBEDIENCE"
Now awaiting the right moment to return her the money. GLORY TO OUR ALMIGHTY GOD AND ALL PRAISES TO HIM!!! AMEN!!!
