The exchange in envelopes

For a couple of months now every Sunday a new and dear friend of mine rides to church with us.
I know she has been seeking a way to show her appreciation
expressed by her never ending thank yous!
Well, Sunday she hands me a beautiful envelope decorated
with lots of color from an assortment stickers.
She expressed to open it after she was gone.
During service I had this thought to give her $20.00. ( It was God telling me)
I leaned over to my husband to whisper in his ear that I was to give her $20.00 "Okay." He says.
I stuck it in an offering envelope and wrote "God told me to give this to you. please keep it." After church, while walking to the parking lot I handed her the envelope. Bonnie opened it and said "Darcy did you open my envelope already?" I hadn't, You see when I opened the envelope from Bonnie there was also $20.00 in there. I believe Bonnie had been praying to bless us for all the rides to church, that God said okay. Then in return gave it right back to her knowing she really needed it.
we laughed and laughed on how funny God really is.
