so they called me stupid but it was right!

soo... my husband and I were both laid off from our jobs about 2 months ago and our lights were turned off and we are currently living with his family.  I applied for public assistance and was approved for food stamps so I went to grocery store to get food for the house and there it was a wallet I asked around to see if anyone had lost a wallet.  After noone said that they knew who it belonged to I went to turn it in.  the manager went in it to look for an id and the money fell out. OMG it had $4,500 in it.  I qucikly turned around and left the store and went home(or to my in-laws home) and cried in my husband's arms.  I could have really did a lot of good with that we could have moved back into our own house and I could have gotten my kids christmas, or winter clothes, hell I could have gotten us a christmas tree.  But then agian that would not have been the right thing to do.  I know that God has a plan for my entire family, I just have to look for the signs right?  the problem is I cant seem to find the signs out there.  I don't won't to beat myself up over it since well its not our money anyway. its just for a spilt second I saw my life changing for the better if it meant doing something wrong for someone else.  my husband family over heard me telling him about what happend and they called me stupid. this morning they told us that we had to the end of the year to get ourselves together and move out. now what? I know that it is wrong to wonder this but was I being stupid for turning in that money or should I just have ran out.  because of me we are going to be homeless and it hurts so bad to know that i could have been in a better  place, our own home but that would have been wrong in the eyes of God.  I know that he is going to bless up right? I mean i am not looking for it but it was be so nice just to lay in my own bed at night instead of a pallet on the floor at night.
