That settles it. I need a new image.

I just had the strangest encounter at the grocery store. I had stopped after work to pick up a few things and since I didn't feel like walking from the bus stop with a couple bags of groceries, I called a cab. While I was waiting, a young woman tapped me on the arm. I turned around and she had $10 in her hand and said "God laid it on my heart to give this to you". I must have looked puzzled because she repeated herself.

I tried to explain to her that I was fine, that I didn't need the money, but she insisted that she had to give it to me because god told her to. I finally told her fine, but I'd just give it someone else who truly needed it.

What the hell?!?!?!? My clothes were clean, my hair was combed, I bathed last night. I don't think I looked destitute or homeless.

What would you have done? I'll make a donation to the local food bank and increase my usual amount by $10.00

1. God has been playing tricks on people lately. He even told a few to run for President.

What a joker!

[trof]

2. DUZY!

[Arkansas Granny]

4. Right. And they all think they're the only ones he told to run.

Quite a sense of humor.

[Phentex]

3. I think it's kind of sweet...

are you sure it isn't counterfeit?

[Arkansas Granny]

5. It was sweet and she was very sincere which is the only reason I took it.

6. Where do you shop? I could use an extra $10.00.

[siligut]

7. I think you handled it very well

But you really can't allow a stranger to define you. She was wrong, but this way the food bank gets an extra $10, God works in mysterious ways.

12. Called 'Paying it forward!'

[baldguy]

8. Should have said you'd make a donation to Planned Parenthood in her name.

Or the ACLU.

9. Maybe the young woman thought you would donate it to a worthy cause

I'm sure your local food bank will be happy to get an extra $10

[ScreamingMeemie]

10. It sounds like she is one of those Prophetic Ministry people.

I've only recently heard about them but they seem to be all the rage. God tells them these things and they go and do them. It might not have had anything to do with how you look or dress. Kind of crazy if you ask me, but the people I have seen "listening" have been basically doing good things.

[Arkansas Granny]

11. I guess anything is possible. She works at the store and was on break at the time.

Whatever, I donated it to our local food bank so her good deed wasn't wasted. I've never had anything like that happen to me before.

[grasswire]

14. did she cop it from her till?

Just wonderin'

[Arkansas Granny]

15. Nope. She was outside taking a smoke break.

[progressoid]

13. Say, "Thanks, God just told me to get a pack of smokes and a couple quarts of beer."
