God's provision

I realize it's been such a long time since I have written.

I am so sorry.

The banquet was amazing.

We were overwhelmed by the kindness. 

The people...

The prizes.... 

 and the end result...

We raised over $7800!  

All praise be to the Lord.

Also, that night, God had a surprise for us.

The SHOW HOPE foundation, 

established by Steven Curtis Chapman,

called as we were leaving for the banquet.

They partnered with the Tim Tebow Foundation

and provided us with a grant of $8,000.

All we can say is "AMAZING".

We are deeply humbled and completely grateful.

Today, the day before we celebrate the birth of Jesus,

I want to take a moment

and remember God's provision.

He provided the Savior.

He provided restoration.

He provided the very best.

He gave His OWN son.

To be born of a virgin.

To live a sinless life.

Even to die.  On a cross.

For our sins.

So that we could have a relationship with God.

Provision.

Salvation.

Restoration.

This Christmas season, may we remember the giving of the ultimate gift.

Sacrifice.

 

The amazing part of this story is that God’s provision did not end

that night in the manger.

He continues to provide.

He richly provides.

The very best.

May you be in awe as God meets all your needs this year.

To God be the glory.

"And my God will meet all your needs according to the riches 

of his glory in Christ Jesus.” Philippians 4:19 

Merry Christmas!
