Unexpected Gift

When I arrived at church this morning, the woman at the door greeted me by name.  Freshly enthused, I pranced through the foyer until another woman touched my arm.

"Tricia, we know you're a student and maybe things are a little tight, so here.  We want to show you we care about you!  It's not much."

She handed me an envelope.  I hugged her, because what was this friendliness?  Then I found a seat and opened the envelope to see a check from the church for $100.  Yeah.

It was the absolute sweetest gesture.  I love my church.  That whole "pool your resources and give to those who need it" thing?  They do it!  I was just, ugh.  My sweet little TFC.  I love it.  I'm so glad Laura took me there so soon after I moved to Dallas.
