A day of see God as our provider

Today (Thursday) was a fun day in see God as our provider both for our church and for us personally.

We had a woman in town (Kane) call us who was moving her family to Florida this week. She is a Christian woman, but we did not know her (she attends another church) but she some how knew we had a Christian book lending library in our church. So on her invitiation to come look at her books that she was giving away. We excitedly went over to see what Christian books she had. Now, I'm pretty picky what I read and what I allow into our church library. A matter of fact about a month ago I went to a ministers house who had 2-3 boxes of Christian books, I walked away with only 2 or 3 books (picky, picky - lol).

So today as I went to look at the books she had about 4-5 boxes of Christian books, and I ended up taking about 80% of them (probably about 125-150 books). Some of these were my favorite authors, and many, many good books.

As we were there she asked if we (Joy or I) needed a computer desk. The answer was YES! A matter of fact it was one item Joyce needed for her job and we couldn't find one she liked, or one in our price range. Here it was - given to us free!!! PTL! She also asked, if we needed some other items, we ended up leaving there with many items that were a blessing both to the church and to Joyce and I.

It was very much an encouragement in a relatively rough time in our life and the churches as far as needs. God met some of our needs and even threw in some of our "wants". Hallelujah!!!
