God Bless the Garbage Man

Though this is written like a poem it is more of a thank you letter. God answers prayers in so many ways he brings us people to help keep the faith he gave to me a sweet, sweet man who helped me truly understand when i was low and ready to give up see i was broke Without a job, no money, no food, no gas in the car My husband needed to go and find work To help his family stay a float We saw the garbage man outside We feared he'd come to take our garbage can So we rushed out side to ask him not too He said he wasn't there too He just came to empty our can 'Cause the regular garbage man had passed us up Now here is were God steps in My husband and the garbage man talk outside for quit awhile Tears fill my heart when I think of what comes next My husband leaves and comes right back He tells me that the garbage man has put $23 of gas in our van My heart must of skipped a beat, I could not believe his generosity Though it does not stop there Apparently the garbage man has also given us $40 in cash His only wish is was that it was not spent on cigarettes or booze This money was for my family to get food So often we forget how God lends a helping hand God does not promise to make us rich, or grant us all we wish He simply says just ask of me and all you NEED will be given to thee Today I send out a special prayer, "God, Please bless The Garbage Man that gave my family a helping hand. Amen"
