　　It was the day before Thanksgiving -- the first onemy three children and I would be spending withouttheir father, who had left several months before.Now the two older children were very sick with theflu, and the eldest had just been prescribed bed restfor a week.

　　It was a cool, gray day outside, and a light rainwas falling. I grew wearier as I scurried around,trying to care for each child: thermometers, juice,diapers. And I was fast running out of liquids for thechildren. But when I checked my purse, all I found was about $2.50 -- and this was supposedto last me until the end of the month. That's when I heard the phone ring.

　　It was the secretary from our former church, and she told me that they had been thinkingabout us and had something to give us from the congregation. I told her that I was going outto pick up some more juice and soup for the children, and I would drop by the church on myway to the market.

　　I arrived at the church just before lunch. The church secretary met me at the door andhanded me a special gift envelope. "We think of you and the kids often," she said, "and youare in our hearts and prayers. We love you." When I opened the envelope, I found two grocerycertificates inside. Each was worth $20. I was so touched and moved, I broke down and cried.

　　"Thank you very much,"I said, as we hugged each other. "Please give our love and thanks tothe church."Then I drove to a store near our home and purchased some much-needed items forthe children.

　　At the check-out counter I had a little over $14.00 worth of groceries, and I handed thecashier one of the gift certificates. She took it, then turned her back for what seemed like avery long time. I thought something might be wrong. Finally I said, "This gift certificate is a realblessing. Our former church gave it to my family, knowing I'm a single parent trying to makeends meet."

　　The cashier then turned around, with tears in her loving eyes, and replied, "Honey, that'swonderful! Do you have a turkey?""No. It's okay because my children are sick anyway." Shethen asked, "Do you have anything else for Thanksgiving dinner?"

　　Again I replied, "No." After handing me the change from the certificate, she looked at myface and said, "Honey, I can't tell you exactly why right now, but I want you to go back into thestore and buy a turkey, cranberry sauce, pumpkin pie or anything else you need for aThanksgiving dinner."

　　I was shocked, and humbled to tears. "Are you sure?" I asked. "Yes! Get whatever youwant. And get some Gatorade for the kids."

　　I felt awkward as I went back to do some more shopping, but I selected a fresh turkey, afew yams and potatoes, and some juices for the children. Then I wheeled the shopping cart upto the same cashier as before. As I placed my groceries on the counter, she looked at meonce more with giant tears in her kind eyes and began to speak.

　　"Now I can tell you. This morning I prayed that I could help someone today, and you walkedthrough my line."She reached under the counter for her purse and took out a $20 bill. Shepaid for my groceries and then handed me the change. Once more I was moved to tears.

　　The sweet cashier then said, "I am a Christian. Here is my phone number if you ever needanything."She then took my head in her hands, kissed my cheek and said, "God bless you,Honey."

　　As I walked to my car, I was overwhelmed by this stranger's love and by the realization thatGod loves my family too, and shows us his love through this stranger's and my church's kinddeeds.

　　The children were supposed to have spent Thanksgiving with their father that year, butbecause of the flu they were home with me, for a very special Thanksgiving Day. They werefeeling better, and we all partook the goodness of the Lord's bounty -- and our community'slove. Our hearts were truly filled with thanks.
