USUALLY

USUALLY

When God provides for people it's not through stuff that falls from heaven

Admitted - it HAS happened!

But it's not the norm.

USUALLY

God provides through people with flesh and blood.

Through YOU and ME sharing what we have.

Remember Praise's accident and the Update I wrote last week?

Well,  shortly after the accident, a wonderful Kiwi family from Tauranga, who moved their family to Uganda last year to do exactly that:

SHARING the blessings they have received with those less fortunate,

loaded up their 6 kids, bought some food - and - 3 hours later arrived at Praise's house in the village to deliver it.

At lunchtime.

Guess what?

There was no food cooking for lunch.

Remember?
The ones who were supposed to do the fund-raising concert to get food were badly injured in hospital.
No concert - no food.

YET

Through Team Gordon going WAY out of their way
 - from New Zealand -
to Kampala -
to Praise's village,
 there was PROVISION of food that day (and for a few more days, I think) -
 and I'm sure there was GREAT JOY!

THANK YOU, TEAM GORDON! YOU ROCK!!!

Friends, this kind of sharing does not come without cost.
Much more than money!

But isn't this the life we're called to live?

Jesus gave the example - we are his followers.

Praise lives like this.

As a matter of fact, she had JUST arrived back at the village after resting for a week at her aunts in town (the hospital sent her home as there was no room for her), when she was very disturbed by the news she received that the girl she had brought to the hospital the morning of the accident, was actually not doing well at all.
She was very unwell and on oxygen in the hospital.
The hospital staff hadn't wanted to tell Praise as she'd just had the accident.

Immediately, Praise went back to town to be with Monica in the hospital.

Please pray for this precious 11-year-old - one of Praise's students:

That's the way he's got it going.

Let's JUST.DO.IT!

Lord, HELP US to LOVE like YOU do!
