  • My son has had some desperate financial needs which we prayed about on Wednesday evening at dinner.  On Thursday morning I found an envelope with his name on it in our letter box.  This amazing envelope had a note from someone saying the Lord had layed it on their heart to bless him.  The amount in the envelope was the EXACT amount he was in need of.  Our God is an AWESOME God and supplies our needs according to His glory.  Please continue to pray for him.

  4. A busy week for you. The story of your son's need being met warms my heart and brings back great memories of various times the Lord has blessed us in a similar way.
