Putting GOD First: I See GOD in ACTION Every Day, Through His
Working Through People!
By Tracy Gibson
It happened
today. Right there on the Number 10 trolley on SEPTA ( South Eastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority ) heading down town this very
late afternoon. There was a young gentleman
in tattered clothing who appeared to have little or no money and He was asking
to get on the train for a free ride. { I
have been in this position and it is NOT one of dignity and pride for me. } I could see the fear in the young man’s eyes
and face. Fearing rejection and being told to get off the train. Some people don’t know what it is like to not
be granted a ride on SEPTA when you
don’t have the fair. Most people can
make the $2.50 per ride or have a SEPTA
Key card packed with a month’s worth of rides.
``If you have to go without the card full of rides, you usually have the
$2.50 in cash.’’ This is what I say to people who live on $30,000.00 a year and
up. This young man probably had NO CASH at all!
{ I am making an assumption, and you know what they say about making
assumptions.}. There was a rather
handsome man coming on the trolley after the man with no or little funds, and
He had money enough to pay the gentleman’s fair. This, in my humble estimation, was GOD at
work . It was not only that man’s heart working well. It was generosity at
work. GOD - working
through people as He often, but not always, does. . . I was impressed by GOD’s
actions and I promised Him that I would write this. Of course I have to thank the generous BLACK man
as well. Having a kind heart and
generosity is GODly. It is short and
sweet and to the point – what I’m writing here , but imagine what that person’s
day would have been like if He had to walk 5 ( five) miles. He only had to walk about five blocks, which
would have been fine to walk, but it is a cold day today ( November 12th,
2019 ) … I just want to thank GOD for that young man in need being alive and
well, even though He is of poor pockets.
I am glad He will not, I am PRAYING, have to be in a room with no
roof. A man without shelter. I am again
making an assumption. He may in fact be
a man without shelter. GOD, please help
me be more effective at helping more BLACK people live in pride and decency and
with the proper care ( this does NOT include second-rate health care ) and
proper food ( this does NOT include so-called fast food ), and enough money to
use in adequate Ways to provide for self and family for a few generations or Moore.
We should all be Moore like the handsome BLACK man who paid
for himself and the brother who didn’t have it like that today. I rest my case for in-house BLACK REPARATIONS! Much more effective than waiting around for
the mostly greedy to become generous. Thank you GOD for the wealth of knowledge you
have helped me store up and share for yet another rainy day.
