We have been so richly blessed this month. Considering where we were at a year ago, to where we are now, God is so AMAZING! October is Pastor Appreciation month, so we had planned something for our Pastor for every Sunday of this month. Little did we know that things were planned for us as well.
The first Sunday was Sweets for Pastor, and all the little kids brought in candy to be put in a basket for our Pastor. Well our teenagers did the same for Chris and I. They bought our favorite candy, and put it in a basket for us, and made us a big card that said how much they appreciated us. Then on Monday, Lowe's calls our house, and tells us that they want to schedule a delivery for us to deliver a washer. WAIT! We didn't buy a washer, we didn't know anything about that. Well someone in our Church took it upon themselves to buy us a washer! PRAISE THE LORD!!!!
The following Sunday was a fellowship after Sunday Night Church, and cards telling Pastor how much you appreciate him. Then it was Praise and testimony time. Our teens did the same for us. They all gave us cards, and told us how much we meant to them. It was so special, and the cards were such a blessing, it truly touched our hearts. (I scrapbooked the cards to remember forever.)
This past Sunday was stock Pastor's pantry, and boy did that ever happen. They got so much food, it was such a blessing to see that. Well on Saturday we had a bonfire, when we got home, our porch was FULL of groceries!! We don't know who got them for us, but we do know that it was a tremendous blessing!! Sunday we also got a $100 gift certificate to Perkins. Amazing!
This coming Sunday we are taking up a love offering for Pastor and his family, so that they can have more money when they go to DisneyWorld in November. I am so humbled by all that has gone on, and the Lord has richly blessed our family. It's nice to know that the Lord is able to work through you to help the teens. Chris is doing an amazing job! Our Youth Department is growing and the teens lives are being changed, and it's such a tremendous blessing. To God Be The Glory!!!!
