673 Days Saved - A Walk with Christ 

Purple Cross Mission 

Do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, so that your giving may be in secret. Matthew 6: 3-4

Today, I did an unexpected Purple Cross mission. Me and my children went to Petco today. We have a pet bearded dragon so we are always having to get crickets for her to eat. Most the time this is a very quick trip, we normally ask for about 60 crickets and then they estimate because counting them individually would take too long obviously. 

The girl behind the counter was very very shy. I’m not sure what was going on but she took a very long time getting the crickets. Maybe she was trying to actually count the moving crickets? The line began to grow and a gentleman behind me even asked, “Have you been helped yet?” I started to feel agitated as my children grew restless and running around store. I tried to keep calm and decided to slip a purple cross under a piece of paper she had done some incredible art doodling on. 

We continued to wait a little longer. I was starting to think there was something majorly wrong so I said, “it’s okay I can put the rubber band on the bag but we need to go.” She still stood there not moving, I repeated myself and then she finally hesitantly came to counter to ring me up. She didn’t say a word. My spirit felt she was agitated or hurting possibly about something deeper. The spirit nudged me and I tried to nicely say, “Are you okay?” She looked down at the floor and said, “yes.” It was very strange. I then felt God nudge me again. I was nervous but I just wanted her to know God loves her. I said just that. I said, “God Loves you, please just remember that,” and then I left. She didn’t say much but she finally did make eye contact with me. I pray she finds the cross under her art pad and God warms her heart on this day. 

The Challenge: 

Sneak a purple cross or anything special to someone today without them ever knowing it was you. Let it be just, what it is, a sweet gift from above.
