This afternoon I had to go out to the grocery store to purchase the food for tonight's drop in. I was heading to one store but then I felt led to go to another store in the city. As I walked in the store I said a quick prayer to the Lord, "Lord if you have someone that wants to bless us today and provide for tonight, I am open to receive from them."
I picked up some things and then was headed up the last aisle when two older ladies were walking by my cart. They said, "It looks like you are buying things for a party". I responded and said, "actually I run a drop in for teens in the downtown area and this is for our drop in." Without another second passing the ladies said, almost in unison, "can we give you some money to pay for it. We think it is so great that you are helping out our youth".
With that they paid for the stuff in my cart. I said to them, "let me tell you what I prayed as I was walking in here", and I shared what that prayer was. They were so blessed to be able to give. It turns out one lady was Catholic and the other was United.
I see it more and more everyday that God is in this ministry. He is our provider. As we bless others, he blesses us!
