“She gave me a smile and said you guys look like you need a blessing tonight. I just smiled back.”
That’s when the cashier walked around to Ashley’s side of the counter, and punched a couple of things into the keypad. Ashley thought she might have been giving them a coupon or something, but Sharnique was following what God told her to do:
“As we’re scanning and scanning, she got in front of me and it’s like I saw a different face on her,” the cashier told local news. “And I just had like a little man on my shoulder that was like, ‘Give her a $100 dollars, give her $100.’ And I was like, ‘Give her $100?’ Like, I’m talking to myself like, ‘Give her $100!’”
As Sharnique returned back to her register, she looked at Ashley and said, “God told me to give you $100 dollars.”

“I then looked at the total and I was at a loss for words,” Ashley continued. “This sweet woman whom I never met in my life paid for half of my groceries! I was in complete shock because I never expected anything like that to ever happen. Me and my husband were just staring at each other like is she serious? Did she really just do this? I was really at a loss for words. I didn’t know what to say. How could this woman who didn’t even know me, know our situation, know us, why would she do this?”
Ashley says she and Michael left the store and just smiled at each other.
“At that moment we both knew things were going to be OK because there truly are good people out there.“
She closed the now-viral post with a ‘thank you’ to Sharnique saying:
“You truly are a blessing and you will never realize how much you helped us out and how much faith you have put back into our heart.”
Ashley’s experience just goes to show that God is alive in all of us. He prompted Sharnique to care for this family, and the blessing she was able to give them is worth more than $100 ever will be.
