Living a Better Story: Jane's Story

I received $5.00 in my envelope.  As I prayed and thought about what to do, I found my eyes and ears more open to need. I encountered an individual going through a very tough time that included a divorce, loss of a house, and not enough money to make it to the next paycheck.  It reminded me of a similar situation I had experienced and the way that members of FUMC had reached out to me anonymously.  At that time, I vowed that I would try to repay them by helping someone else some day.  So I added money to what I received and anonymously passed it along.  I am grateful that this process helped to open my eyes, ears, and heart to the needs of those around me.
