Sorry for the delay in writing. Once again, I have been sick and unmotovated....yuch. Suzy & I made the trek to Dallas for the H2H conference, rushing back to beat the hurricane evac traffic from La. Thoughts on the conference may come later. Today, I want to pass on a simple, functional letter from one of the local gatherings:
At our gathering Sunday at the home of Pam and Mark Beall we had a lady, Barbara Lane who shared something that hurt her heart. It was something her husband of 51 years said to her concerning money she has used over this period of time to help those in need. She has always been a giver reaching out to others as Jesus directed.
Their needs have always been met. This month has been especially tight for them partly because of filling up their gas tank making ready for the winter to come.
We prayed for Barbara, her feelings of hurt and for her husband and his understanding. Today her husband brought in the mail among which was an envelope for Barbara with no return address on it and she did not recognize the hand writing. She opened it to a piece of computer paper neatly folded with the words "Jesus loves you" on it. Then a $100 bill fell out in her hand.
Needless to say her husband was surprised as well as Barbara and she had the opportunity to gently look at him and say "you can't out give God."
I just wanted to share this with Barbara's permission to let you know He is our provider and He is faithful. If you have a need be it financial, emotional, spiritual, He is faithful and desires to rescue you.
If anyone of you in our group was the obedient giver, Barbara says "thank you".
Please feel free to pass this on especially to others in the Paris area and if you have news of what's going on in your meetings we would delight in hearing how Jesus is working in the every day life of believers
