ACTIONS BEHIND THE THOUGHT

l know you have heard this phase so many times in the past and probably never ready thought much about it , but l have a true story to tell you that it is THE THOUGHT THAT COUNTS ,but if that thought is followed by actions, especially from a stranger , the impact has so many ripples, we truly probably have never thought to stop and think to ourselves ,wonder what would happen if l put the thought that counts into action ,what if l didnt just think about it what if l went out of my way to really do something about that thought, well not long ago a young man did this for me and l can tell you l am still feeling the ripples of kindness from that thought, Heres my story :

I had been wanting a curio cabinet for months, when we move we couldn't take much Furniture , l had to get rid of a beautiful one Buddy my late husband had given me one Christmas, and l loved it so much , I have been looking on Our Buy nothing group and on Marketplace  ,  l couldn't afford to pay much , around 50.00 , last night one showed up on Marketplace, not much more than 50.00 , l got in contact with the seller and he gave me a discount and i told him l wanted it,  l looked on his profile and it said he worked for The County Government, so I mention about My son working at the Sheriff Dept, then he said there's  where he worked and wanted to know my sons name ,  I couldn't believe  it when i found out he worked in the Detention Center Where My Son had been Director of,  He told me right away he would call Him to make arrangements to get it,  that was last night and I was blown away of all the people on Marketplace  this had happened , i just started thanking God for His Blessing, because to me just finding someone with a connection to my son ,with so many sellers on the web ,that was unbelievable and that was enough for me to go to bed with a heart full of joy and hope for a curio cabinet , something l wanted but not really a need, but l didnt think about that l was thanking God and went to sleep dreaming about how beautiful all my pictures and Mementos from my children and grandchildren would look in it , sweet dreams .

Now on to this morning, My son  called at 9:00 and said , Had My friend called you , He said the one selling the cabinet  and his  friend was going to deliver it this morning, that was not the deal, we were to pick it up , but My son said  The young man  wanted to do it, again i was overwhelmed with gratitude,  I called The young man and told him I wouldn't have the money until my check came tomorrow, he said he wasn't one bit worried about that , I said I would sent it to him by my son tomorrow, Well him and his friend came to deliver it , it is beautiful in excellent shape, I was thanking them and telling what a blessing and kindness it was them bringing, and how i counted them a blessing from God,  as he  was leaving I hugged his neck and thanked him again, I told him i would send the money to him tomorrow, and he looked at me and said,  I DONT WANT NO MONEY, HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MERRY CHRISTMAS ,THIS IS A BLESSING FROM GOD, and you know what came next tears of unbelievable thankfulness  for this Act Of Kindness , from this young Christian man that l had just met , oh what a feeling of Gods love when l just hugged him again  , crying and thanking him and God at the same time,  

I don't believe in coincidences if you are a Christian, l know it is God working is mysterious ways,  the cabinet wasn't something l needed which l know God always supplies our needs , but this was something l wanted , and for some reason God wanted me to have it,  maybe He wanted me to Share with you , what a impact a act of ITS THE THOUGHT THAT COUNTS and Kindness and love from a stranger , putting that thought into action, who as God said could be Him unaware, really can means to someone,  this young man  , did what God ask us all to do ,show love and kindness to everyone, just like our Angel !my granddaughter always did,  PRAISE GOD , GOD IS GOOD ALL THE TIME , THANK YOU AGAIN ONCE A STRANGER BUT BECAUSE OF A THOUGHT NOW IS A FRIEND  , AND YOUR FRIEND ,GOD LOVES YOU AND SO DO I , 🥰❤️🙏

So that is my story , this young mans act started with a thought, he would deliver the cabinet, and just him doing that was truly the thought that counts but he went on to put that thought in action by giving me the cabinet  because of the thought in his heart that when he saw me a frail 79 years old lady so excited over him just delivering it, that that thought turns unto more, l cant explain how true the phase ,ITS THE THOUGHT THAT COUNTS, really means ,but l can tell you when that Thought turns into action especially from a stranger, you have a hard time putting into words ,how much what Begin as just a Thought ,and ended with a true act of love and kindness ,the kind God tells us to give,  it will bring unbelievable happiness and thankfulness to someone that was a stranger but because of a THOUGHT ,is now a friend , please always remember its THE THOUGHT THAT COUNTS , but if you put that thought in action , you will be the one that receives the reward . Just give it a chance , you wont regret it .Step out and Faith put that thought into action and that one little step of Faith may be like the First step on the moon , ONE SMALL THOUGHT FOR MANKIND , ONE GAINT LEAP OF KINDNESS.
