My Husband Has a Servant's Heart
I am incredibly proud of my sweet hubby! He called from work to ask my approval on a decision he has made (he had already made the decision...I guess he just wanted to make sure I was on board...ha!). He said that a homeless man in his mid-twenties came by the pet store today. This man said that he knew who had stolen the donation jar for Animal Rescue Center (ARC) from our front counter and was curious if there was a reward for turning the thief in. Eric said he wasn't sure but that he would check with ARC for him. They got to talking and Eric found out that he and his girlfriend are homeless. She is 3 months pregnant and they are leaving in a few days to go to another city (on foot). This gentleman and his girlfriend have been showering and doing laundry at a local man's home once a week. The man whose home he showers at is now out of town until after they leave. He said he hasn't done laundry in over a week. And they couldn't find breakfast for his pregnant girlfriend this morning. Eric gave this guy his lunch (left-over pizza from a couple nights ago). Then Eric said, "get me your clothes and I will have them back to you by tomorrow morning." Eric asked me to go to the grocery store and get them some food that they can pack in their backpacks for their trip. He also asked me to get the pregnant girl some prenatal vitamins. I am just blown away by my husband's kind heart! What an amazing man of God I have married! Thank you Lord for my sweet gift of Eric!
