god is awesome and so are his people

the last two days have been awesome, last night we got to minister the love of jesus to the single mom with three children, later found out by accident one of her children is the granddaughter of one of our members in our church. halleluhah. anyways one member of our body bought a whole weeks groceries for this family, we prayed for her and she was so grateful, when i saw her this morning she said she couldnt believe how blessed she had been, i went back to the church after that to find three bags of food left there for us which put our donations to the other two families at record.there were books on the love of jesus also given and then i received more.when i went this morning there was clothes shoes, school supplies and an anonymous envelope addressed to me for a donation also, i started to cry thinking how faithful god is to this ministry. we loaded up, and went to visit a family we know to have them join us in praying over these and that was such a blessing to us. we first went out to give to the family with the kids with the clothes need and he was the only one home, he just couldnt believe this, and looked dumbfounded he didnt want us to come in he was embarrased.we didnt get to pray this time but told him we were extending the love of jesus thru our church, and he was thankful the second family we outreached to was a woman that desperately needed a visit, her husband was at work and she was there alone with their two young children.she said this donation would be used for a charity on saturday that she was a part of. we didnt care cause god knows. she lost her 17 year old daughter last year and her mom a couple weeks later, she was so glad to see us and proceeded to tell us about the things god has done in her life since the loss of her daughter and mom, and the ministries that have come thru this, i truly dont know who was blessed us or her. she said all the bitterness was gone, and how life is different her husband had a affair and god gave her the grace to forgive him and the woman. people who use to be her enemies are now her friends, it was a different visit to say the least. she truly knew we are sojourning here, i know that, but do i truly, know that, something to think about.and lisa was given a basketball hoop her son and her have been praying for for months now. what a god send....... to god be all the glory, he is in this and i am amazed at the awesome god we serve. oh and i got a call yesterday for a donation for school supplies and was able to go to here we grow and buy clothes for another family with children, still have enough left for another family for this week or to carry on into next week, however god leads. ma god have his total will thru us.
