Pears & Praises

This is a picture of God's provision through His people. My friend Jennifer & her mom, Cheri (Moriah's TinyTown teacher at RiverPoint) dropped by yesterday with a huge sack of fresh pears. They had picked them off their elderly aunt's tree. Jen asked her if she could give them away since her aunt didn't need so many anymore. She felt God asking her to take them to neighbors who had lost jobs recently.

That's ministry.

God wants us to take care of our bodies and eat healthily, but it costs to eat healthy! Fresh produce is not cheap.

Jen doesn't know it but we're on our last few dollars until the next "provision day". It was a tough few weeks of unexpected bills and car problems, but God is so good. We have every reason to praise Him for what we do have, because of how faithful He is to provide.

Thanks Jen, you've blessed us.

Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, especially to those who belong to the family of believers.
Galatians 6:10
