			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Last night Jess and I decided to go to Chilis for a special dinner together (yes&#8230;Chilis does mean &#8220;special&#8221; to us). We had been there for about an hour and had just finished our meal when one of the servers picked up our tab and debit card to pay. She quickly returned after going into the kitchen and told us that our bill had been paid for.</p>
<p>Excuse me?<a href="http://jaydubbs.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/random-acts-of-kindness.jpg"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-88" style="border: 5px solid black;" title="random-acts-of-kindness" src="http://jaydubbs.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/random-acts-of-kindness.jpg" alt="random-acts-of-kindness" width="383" height="254" /></a></p>
<p>We thought it must have been a mistake for sure. Someone must have paid the wrong bill. The receipts got mixed up. Something.</p>
<p>But she insistently said that there was no confusion&#8230;someone had actually paid for our dinner anonymously. She knew who it was, but promised to the table that paid that she wouldn&#8217;t tell us who it was.<span id="more-87"></span></p>
<p>Looking around in astonishment, there was no one that we knew. No friends or family being cute. Just a gracious act of pure kindness from complete strangers.</p>
<p>Jess and I think that it may have something to do with the fact that I was recently cut from my job at Cornerstone because of budget cuts (see <a href="http://jaydubbs.com/?p=3" target="_blank">A New Day</a> post). We saw a van outside with a Cornerstone sticker on it. But who really knows.</p>
<p>God is simply continuing to expose us to His faithfulness and providence. Even in the midst of hard seasons and huge transition, He is steadfast in His love for us and His promise of a future for us.</p>
<p>Even in small things like a free dinner. That&#8217;s just how He rolls.</p>
<p>Jess and I are having fun trying to come up with a great idea on how to give that generosity back&#8230;</p>
<p>Have you ever been given something that meant a lot to you by an anonymous giver? Did you find a way to extend that same grace to someone else in need?</p>
