“…for your Father knows what you need before you ask Him.”–Matthew 6:8
Several months ago, I was preparing for a work-related trip to Cebu and then our honeymoon. I went to the drugstore to get some medicines for our first-aid kit and our regular vitamins.
I was waiting for the saleslady to return with my order and change when suddenly, a P100-bill landed on the counter in front of me. I turned to my right, to where the direction of the money came from and I saw that the nearest person was a couple of meters away from me and nobody was opening their wallets. No salesperson was near me either. Nobody scrambled to find their money. Nobody even noticed that something flew past them. It was as though it was simply given to me from heaven.
A few days later, we were already in Cebu and I tended the exhibit of the company where I was working parttime. On my way to the restroom one time, I passed by a group of people who were much taller than me–men and women who were discussing business. A chef in uniform was among them. When I excused myself in order to get past them, I saw a P100-bill on the floor. I picked it up and asked the people who were standing around about it. Nobody knew and one of the woman said, “Then it is yours. Go keep it.” And I did.
I thanked the Lord for the blessing and asked what it was for.
Another few days later, I got my answer. We were already in Cagayan de Oro City when I realized that the back cover of my cellphone kept falling off. My husband inspected it and noticed that the battery had enlarged. I went to the cellphone shop and had it replaced and was told that it was good that I went there earlier before the whole thing exploded.
And guess what? The cellphone replacement cost P200! The money that I found was enough for the battery replacement! Indeed, God knows what we need and He will provide for it anyway He can.

Hello spoiled311,
You are very lucky! It seems like the money were meant for you. But everything happens for a reason, right? I guess by now, you know the reason why God gave you ínstant money. As for me, I am not as lucky as you. Unfortunately, whenever I have extra money, something bad will happen *sighs*
