Last
Saturday, on our way to the chicken place in our neighborhood to pick up our order, my
daughter and I stopped at the credit union so I can make a withdrawal
from the ATM. What I liked about this particular credit union is that
it has two machines, one on the outside and one in that is enclosed
where you have to use your ATM card to enter. You slide your card in
the slot and once it reads your card it will buzz you in. I always go
to the one that's enclosed whenever it's available and today it was. I
used my card to gain access and I was buzzed in. I made my transaction,
and left and headed to the chicken place which was not too far, about a
quarter mile.
When
we got there, I gave the girl my name and she pulled my ticket and gave
it to the cook. She rung up my order and told me what the amount of my
order was. I unzipped my coat sleeve pocket and extracted my visa card
and paid my bill. When I was replacing my visa card back in my coat
sleeve pocket, that's when I noticed that I didn't have my credit union
ATM card. Right away a feeling of panic and helplessness came over me.
I double checked all the contents of my coat sleeve pocket and it
wasn't there. I began to look around on the floor to see if maybe I
dropped it but I couldn't find it. Then it dawned on me that I might
have left it at the credit union because I don't remember retrieving it
from the card reader when I left.
My
daughter saw the panicked look on my face and asked me what was wrong
and I told her that I think I left my ATM card at the credit union. She
suggested that I go back to the credit union while she waited for her
order since it wasn't ready yet. On the way back to the credit union, I
prayed and asked God to please let my card be there when in all
actuality I just knew it would be gone.
After
I pulled up, I got out and hurried to the enclosed portion of the
credit union and I saw a woman making a transaction. She looked up when
she saw me approaching and she must have seen the expression of terror
on my face and grabbed my ATM card off the counter and gestured is this
yours and I said yes! She quickly opened the door and handed it to me
and I thanked her and left. Panic and terror was replaced with a
tremendous amount of relief. Someone must have pulled it from the card
reader and set it aside on the counter. I thanked and praised God on
the way to pick up my daughter from the chicken place.
THANK
YOU LORD FOR MOVING ON THE PERSON'S HEART WHO DISCOVERED MY ATM CARD,
MAKING IT TOO HOT TO HANDLE AND THEY HAD TO RELEASE IT. BLESS THEM, OH
LORD, WITH FAVOR!!
JESUS REIGNS !!!
