It Literally Paid To Be Honest Today

I was at a store today and part of my purchase included fresh cherries @ $3.97 per pound and fresh apricots @ $2.97 per pound. As the clerk was ringing up my items I noticed that it had to have been more than what she rang up at 0.40 and 0.27 and I asked her if she charged me the right amount of money. She said she did. I could not shake it off once I paid her. I went to customer service and asked them if it was possible that I was not charged enough money for those two items. The clerk weighed the cherries and the apricots and lo and behold I was not charged correctly. The cherries came to approximately $3.00 and the apricots were $2.52. The manager was most gracious and surprised me when he said I only had to pay for the apricots that he was giving me the cherries at no additional charge. Now you must realize that I did not go and seek out to try and get free cherries. I went to the counter expecting to pay the amount that was not properly charged to me because it is the right thing to do and Holy Spirit really will put that in you. Do not cross that when you feel it for He is trying to keep you safe. You see, you are truly safe when you are resting in His care and you cannot be resting if you are not walking closely with Him. Always choose Him over a few dollars here or there and you will be glad you did. Not only that but you will be able to share with others too. You really do not know who is watching your actions. There was another man at the counter while the conversation was going on and he made a comment that he would have eaten the cherries and I said to him in a kindly manner that the only right thing is to pay for what you purchased. You do not have to shout these things out loud just by your actions you never know who will be affected by it right?
This manager must have appreciated me wanting to pay for the items that were in question, I do believe that he wanted to bless me with the cherries for my honesty. In reality you probably do not know that I love cherries this time of the year and of the two items he chose the item that is my favorite so it was a double blessing to me. Did you have an experience today in which you were able to experience the blessing too?
