We were blessed to start today with $750 for client assistance. Knowing that on any given day our normal financial outflow is between $2,000 to $3,000, we asked the Lord to send only those families that really needed us today. Here is our day "post-amen":
We opened at 10:00. It was slow but steady for the first hour. Then totally quiet.... As the day went on, we began to run low on money. A sweet man with a heart condition who was just released from the hospital needed help with prescriptions. Oh no! It's more that we have. But our ever miracle working Marlene says...here is a coupon, let's call and see if he can get the medicine cheaper. About the same time, Mr. Ralph visited and handed me $40. And guess what???? Yes, it was enough to cover the medicine. Oh that's good! About that time a sweet little lady came in that needed helped with her heating bill. Following in her footsteps was Ms. Shirley from First Baptist Snellville Winsome SS class. And guess what??? Oh yes, it was enough.
To God Be the Glory!!!
Gotta run..Just heard the mail truck!!!

A Day of Blessings
What an awesome day serving the Lord. The Lord really showed Himself faithful. Oh my!! Here are the highlights:
- Multiplied money for assistance - God allowed us to "find" additional funds for assistance today. We made it all day without running out!
- The gift of thanks - God brought us a sweet angel today that ask...ed if she could sing us a song to show her appreciation. She glorified the Lord as she brought tears to our eyes.
- The kids are out of school!! - What a joy to have our sweet Mary home from college and the additional blessings of Jessie, Sylvia, and Arnelle from Grayson HS, and Christopher from Brookwood HS. And of course awesome Josh. I pray that these young people will continue to have a heart of service.
And all God's peolpe say... AMEN!!!

A tale of cereal...
It was a busy Thursday afternoon. The shelves were quickly developing several significant bare spots. A volunteer informed me that we had just given out our last box of cereal. What should we do? No worries, let's sit tight. We can substitute oatmeal or grits. My words didn't seem to please the volunteer. But we all knew that the Lord had delivered us time and time again.
About 15 minutes later I was standing on the delivery dock when George and Becky Hill pulled up. Becky has started a wonderful ministry called 5-2 Ministry. This ministry supplies items for the Co-op at substantially reduced prices utilizing coupons and sales. As Becky backed her SUV up to the loading dock I saw it!! Cereal, Cereal, Cereal! We were good to go for the rest of the night.
How good is the God we adore,
Our faithful unchangeable friend,
His love is as great as his power,
And knows neither measure nor end!
