At church as we were leaving Corryton Church, a woman comes from behind us calling my wife. In her hands is 4 bags of new blankets that her comunity group had taken up for us to hand out. Awesome. I had prayed for blankets and God provided.
So we go out to make deliveries that afternoon, with too many folks in the truck i might add, (its good to have too many than not enough) and we was invited into 1 camp and given a tour, I sow four of the guys praying with 2 homies and talking sports. A lot of folks are so used to being ignored that any conversation makes them feel human. So it was a good day to say the least. I have new volunteers and its nice to see folks who aint afraid to get dirty and come off the pew. They have been learning fast and took to it real well.
So were at home at about 2030 and we get a knock at the door. It is the Pastor and wife of the Children of Obiedence Church in Mascot. They said that God told them if they brought uWo blankets that we could get them out to the Homies and in thier hands was 2 Hefty bags full. Wow two times in one day? Kevin proceded to tell me about the offering they took and they had to hit two Walmarts to get them all and that the church didnt really know about uWo. So what better way than to take him out on a night run to show him. Why set up a presentation when you can actually take a person out and give them the experence. SO he got to see the blankets go into the hands that need them. And in the end we had to come home and get another load of blankets and the last person to get one was a double amputee who had only 1 blanket to cover himself with. Had we not went out, it would have been bad for him.
So we need to always be ready to move when God calls. Even when tired or ready for bed. I had plans but that became my new plans, be willing to get up and go out. This was just the blanket blessings.......
