Wow! God is good. Look at this pile. We haven't been "doing" foster care for more than 2 weeks and some friends and their church small group, because of "orphan Sunday", decide to adopt us for a night. They made reservations at a fancy restaurant, came to babysit our 3 sweethearts, sent us off and we came back to a pile of groceries besides (and a quiet house).
Ephesians 3:14-21
For this reason I kneel before the Father, from whom every family in heaven and on earth derives its name. I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the Lord’s holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.
Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen.
Thank you, thank you, thank you. But I have to tell you about more:
- The sweet lady that takes care of the girls during my Bible study brought us lunch when we couldn't make it out because of illness.
- Nana came to take care of overnight meds, so we could sleep, and let me run errands.
- Aunt A brought her baby food maker one afternoon and made us carrots and squash.
- A friend brought us a meat and potatoes meal (with leftovers) one night.
- Another friend took from the excess of her son's clothes for our new little man to have a couple more items.
- Oh, there's more, don't feel left out if I missed your story...I am thankful for all of you!!
Makes me think of ways to pass it on... Step up, Anna, what can you do?
