They brought several meals and flowers and a delicious cheesecake; but most of all they brought themselves!  It was so good to see someone we know.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Right before they left Heidi told me that when she was as Whole Foods a woman walked up to her and said, &#8220;May I bless you?&#8221;  She was a bit taken aback, but said yes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The woman opened her purse and started taking money out. Heidi protested, &#8220;Oh, no, no, we&#8217;re fine.  Save it for someone else who really needs it.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The woman looked at her intently and said, &#8220;This is a blessing from God.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Heidi suddenly remembered why she was there in the first place and told her she was buying food for a friend and explained why we&#8217;re here and that she is making food for us.  The woman gave her the money and told her to be blessed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When Heidi got to the cash register she reached into her purse and realized her wallet was missing! The cash completely covered her groceries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"http:\/\/www.michellebeachy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/walk-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3993\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.michellebeachy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/walk-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.michellebeachy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/walk-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.michellebeachy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/walk-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/www.michellebeachy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/walk.jpg 1365w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I cried.  I realized then that God has felt so silent and far away since after surgery.  That story gave me a profound reminder that He will see us through the unknown that lies ahead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;Take Courage, my friend, your redemption is near.
