story from my father

My dad told me this true story. I know how much you guys love to hear their stories so I thought I would share it with you.

He was a camp counselor one year and the head of the camp told them to find out who in their cabin needed a Bible because there was an organization that offered to purchase them. So he had 1 child in his cabin who said he would like one but his parents could not afford to buy one. So dad went back and told the camp leaders only to find out the organization backed down and would not purchase. So dad felt bad that he told the boy he would get him one so he went to our cabin and took out $5 from mom's purse and was able to get the Bible. He felt really good. He went back to our cabin to tell his wife what he had done only to hear his wife say "I hate to bust your bubble but that was the last $5 we have. I don't know how we are going to have gas to go home or groceries to eat. Well now he really felt bad. So he started walking back to his cabin and some guy called his name. He turned around and this guy handed him $30. He had no clue what had just happened, he just knew that was what he was to do.
