Christian Confronts Purse Thief; Pays for His Groceries

Teresa Neumann : Oct 29, 2013  Heather Clark – Christian News

The woman, who rarely carries cash on her, had just enough to cover the bill: "So I knew in that moment it wasn't me. It was Christ who played in that moment."

Speaking to her local televisions station KWTV, Eaves recalled her initial response to the crime. She stated that as she boldly tracked down the man in the store, she thought of the Lord's admonition to the turn the other cheek.

So, Eaves walked up to the man and said, "I think you have something of mine. I'm going to give you a choice. You can either give me my wallet and I'll forgive you right now, and I'll even take you to the front and pay for your groceries." If not, she warned him she would call the police.

Various reports note that at first the man was dumbfounded, but then he handed Eaves' wallet back to her, saying, "I'm embarrassed. I have kids, I'm broke and I'm sorry."

True to her word, Eaves proceeded to the checkout register where she paid for the man's groceries—a total of just over $27.

"I had $28 cash in my wallet," noted Eaves, adding that she almost never carries cash on her, "and so I knew in that moment it wasn't me. It was Christ that played in that moment."

The fact that seemingly inconsequential God Moments can, in truth, be headlines that touch others' lives is evident in the fact that this story has quickly spread around the country.

Which begs the question: Do you have a "God Moment" waiting for you to respond to today?
