Paying it forward

Ok so the other day I went to the u haul truck rental store to check on prices for moving . Met a really nice young man from Hattie . His name was JR
He was smiling and radiating life and joy . So I begin to tell him why I'm moving to Nashville . He responds with" I love what your doing "
We talked for a while and he told me that he plays guitar. He plays at a small church and he likes very much to play for god. Said he was trying to get better, but loved worship music . I went home . When I arrived home god reminded me that the day before I had prayed , god I have an extra guitar and I'd gladly give it to some young would be worship leader ... Well guess what I just met him. So I loaded up my car with this beautiful black fender telecaster , case and my old keyboard and proceeded back down to the uhaul store .
I motioned for JR to come to the car and when I told him the story his eyes lite up with joy . He was speechless and touched . I too was because I could see how much god loved this young man .
We talked a little . I prayed for him . And he managed. To say through a heartfelt smile " this is a really good day."
I drove home with chills and I believe all heaven was rejoicing.
It's so good to do good to others and pay it forward .
