Sunday afternoon lunch

God is so good!

Today after church, we went out to eat at the Mexican restaurant down the street. We go there pretty often, but I was planning to cook something this afternoon for lunch and Vince knew that, so I thought it was pretty random that he said we're going to eat out instead. (it didn't bother me... less dishes, and I can cook the meal another day!)

We got to the restaurant, ordered our food, and a guy from church was there so he ate with us. The waiter came over to our table while we were eating, and handed us a folded napkin that had something written in it, and he said something in Spanish, assuming Vince understood what he meant. (Vince usually talks to the waiters in Spanish, just to practice) The napkin was from some people in another booth, and it had a few words and said something like "God Bless You" underlined, and then a couple Scripture references and the name of the church they're from. It was some "Full Gospel Church" or whatever... you know, some church that we wouldn't agree with on doctrine, but they probably heard us talking about church and guessed that we were Christians. We went back to eating, and after we finished we were still talking and fellowshipping for a while... waiting for the waiter to bring the check.

After we'd been sitting there a little while... Vince finally stopped the waiter and asked if he could bring the check so we could pay for our food. The waiter said "Oh, those people paid for it... that's what I told you earlier". Of course, we were all totally surprised! Isn't it amazing how God provides for little things like that?? Wow... :-)

That is really awesome! :) It's cool when other people figure out that you're Christians...so sweet of them to do that for you!
