Give and it will come back to you

Hey Guys! It’s #TalkTuesday A.K.A #Chick Chat! Today’s topic is from a podcast I’m obsessed with called “The Read”. I thought this was an interesting story sent in from one of their listeners so I decided to transcribe. I can particularly relate to this because too many people are eager to take credit for work they didn’t do!! #Read #Comment #Enjoy.

“I overheard a co-worker talking to her cubicle mate about how she is so upset because she couldn’t afford to go to her grandmothers funeral. She went on and on about how her grandmother raised her and she felt like she’d never get closure if she didn’t go to the funeral to say goodbye.

I could hear her trying to hold back tears and I got slapped with the feels. Overhearing this really touched a soft spot because I too have a grandmother who raised me and I can only imagine if it was me. I’m not close to this woman because I just started working there 3weeks ago but I felt a heavy weight on my heart so I bought her a round trip ticket to leave on Friday and come back Sunday and printed the itinerary and left it anonymously on her desk during lunch.

When she came back I heard her open it and she burst into tears and started thanking God and I felt very warm inside to know that I was blessed enough to do that for a person.

Fast forward another 10 mins, her co-worker comes in from her lunch and the woman immediately assumes it was her co-worker who bought it and said she couldn’t thank her enough and God is going to bless her but to my surprise the co-worker just rolled with it and said “oh no it’s no problem I know how much your grandmother meant to you and I just felt it in my spirit that it was the right thing to do” how does a person take credit for something that they didn’t even do.

The woman has no spirit and to do it so easily at that, the devil himself is who is behind it. I was livid but now I’m in a dilemma because like I said before, I don’t know this woman and I wasn’t looking for credit that’s why I did it anonymously but at the same time I don’t want no one else taking credit for what I did either.

Should I let it go and let God or should I let this woman know that her friend is a liar”
