FOUND MONEY

Today had started out pretty good. I stopped at a church in Ogden, IL. They were getting ready to have a service out of doors in front of the church. I was welcomed and even given the chance to speak. Afterwards, I was surprised in getting almost two hundred dollars in donations.

It was around 1:00 p.m. when I got on the road. I decided to stop in Danville near the state line to get some groceries before going on into Indiana. When I got back to the bike after buying groceries, I was surprised at finding a money order on the pavement right by my rear wheel. It had been made out to a little over three hundred dollars.

What was so strange about this was that all it had on it was the embossed amount. It didn't have any other writing on it telling who had bought it or who it was to. Also, it had both receipt coupons on it that had to be torn off before sending the money order. They were blank also.

I wasn't sure what to do with it. I just couldn't just leave it there or throw it away. After getting the groceries put away, I went back to the store to see if anybody knew anything about this. They said that nobody in the area sold a money order like this one. I put it in my wallet and tomorrow I'll go to a bank to see if it could be traced back to the buyer.
I'm not sure if this was a gift from ADONAI or an anomynous supporter but if this was the case for the latter it would have been one of the largest one-person donations to my ministry ever. When I got to the state line, I stopped to take a picture of the bike and the state sign as a memento. I was surprised at finding a 35mm camera in it's case lying by the side of the road. This had been a strange day of finding things.
