I am an employee at Focus on the Family. Over Thanksgiving weekend, I traveled to visit my fiancee and family in Kansas City. On Friday, my fiancee and I went out for dinner. Because it was such a busy night, we quite a wait for our table. While we were waiting, we got to talking to a gracious couple waiting outside nearby. At one point, the husband left to guide a young teenage girl into a precarious parallel parking space between two expensive cars. Anyway, as we discussed our lives, we found out that they were celebrating their 26th anniversary that night. After they found out where I worked, they were so excited. They went on for a good ten minutes about the different programs they were involved in, and the lifesaving books and resources Focus had produced at just the right time. Finally we took our separate tables, them before us. When it came time to settle our bill, our waiter informed us that another couple had anonomously paid for our relatively expensive meal. We knew who it was, but they were already gone. We will probably never see or hear from them again, but the blessings that that act communicated touched us deeply. We are so overwhelmed that kind feelings towards Focus spilled blessings over into my personal life. What an encouraging act of Christ!
