check this out everyoneRuth went to her mail box and there was only one letter.
She picked it up and looked at it before opening, but then she
looked at the envelope again.
There was no stamp, no postmark, only her name and address.
She read the letter:
Dear Ruth:
I'm going to be in your neighborhood Saturday
afternoon and I'd like to stop by for a visit.
Love Always,
Jesus
Her hands were shaking as she placed the letter on the table.
"Why would the Lord want to visit me? I'm
nobody special. I
don't have anything to offer."
With that thought, Ruth remembered her empty kitchen cabinets.
"Oh my goodness, I really don't have anything to offer. I'll have
to run down to the store and buy something for dinner."
She reached for her purse and counted out its
contents. Five dollars and forty cents.
Well, I can get some bread and cold cuts, at least."
She threw on her coat and hurried out the door.
A loaf of French bread, a half-pound of sliced
turkey, and a carton of milk...leaving Ruth with grand total
twelve cents to last her until
Monday.
Nonetheless, she felt good as she headed home, her meager
offerings tucked under her arm.
"Hey lady, can you help us, lady?"
Ruth had been so absorbed in her dinner plans, she hadn't even
noticed two figures huddled in the alleyway.
A man and a woman, both of them dressed in
little more than rags.
"Look lady, I ain't got a job, you know, and my wife and I have
been living out here on the street, and, well, now it's getting
cold and we're getting kinda hungry and, well, if you could help
us. Lady, we'd really appreciate it."
Ruth looked at them both.
They were dirty, they
smelled bad and frankly, she was certain
that they could get some kind of work if they really wanted to.
"Sir, I'd like to help you, but I'm a poor woman
myself.
All I have is a few cold cuts and some bread, and I'm having an
important guest for dinner tonight and I was planning on serving
that to Him."
"Yeah, well, okay lady, I understand. Thanks anyway."
The man put his arm around the woman's shoulders, turned and
headed back into the alley.
As she watched them leave, Ruth felt a familiar
twinge in her heart.
"Sir, wait!"
The couple stopped and turned as she ran down
the alley after
them.
"Look, why don't you take this food. I'll figure out something
else to serve my guest."
She handed the man her grocery bag.
"Thank you lady. Thank you very much!"
"Yes, thank you!" It was the man's wife, and Ruth could see now
that she was shivering.
"You know, I've got another coat at home.
Here, why don't you take this one."
Ruth unbuttoned her jacket and slipped it over the woman's
shoulders.
Then smiling, she turned and walked back to the street...without
her coat and with nothing to serve her guest.
"Thank you
lady!
Thank you very much!"
Ruth was chilled by the time she reached her front door, and
worried too.
The Lord was coming to visit and she didn't
have anything to offer Him.
She fumbled through her purse for the door key. But as she did,
she noticed another envelope in her mailbox.
"That's odd. The mailman doesn't usually come twice in one day."
Dear Ruth:
It was so good to see you again.
Thank you for the lovely meal.
And thank you, too, for the beautiful coat.
Love
Always,
Jesus
The air was still cold, but even without her coat, Ruth no longer
noticed.
If you love Jesus, send this to ten people
Do not keep this message.
The mantra must leave your hands within 96 hours.
You will get a very pleasant surprise.
This is true, even if you are not superstitious.
Very good things will happen to everyone that
touches this story.
Yes Jesus Care.
