So that last entry was a low moment, to be sure. But within 2 hours of posting I was standing at the side of my car staring at a dead battery. My friend David (Gigi's daddy) was plugging it in to his vehicle and ultimately diagnosing a really old, dead battery. Time for a new one.
I have no money -- I think I've made that clear. But the hard truth is that I use babysitting money to buy groceries. I have no money....and little credit. I've never been a credit card user so have one with very low available credit. I was going to have to max it out.
Dear David drove me to a store to buy a battery and then refused to let me buy it. I promised to pay him back and he refused that as well. This was charitable giving. Plus a Subway sandwich to go.
David didn't read that post. David doesn't know I have a blog and he was at work when I entered that. So Who was listening? G-d? The Universe? Guardian angels? I don't know what to believe but I do know now what it feels like to be humbled to your core. Not only do they let me spend the day with Gigi but they give me a bit of money to pay for groceries, and now this. I don't know what to do with this kind of generosity. I feel weak in the knees. And I don't mind adding: a little spooked.
So at my most humblest moment, I can only say, "thank you" and may the blessings of G-d follow you.
