Freezer from God!

A couple of weeks ago a friend of mine gave me a small freezer for my laundry room. I was so excited! I bought freezer cookbooks, and stocked up on sale priced freezable stuff. It was awesome. If I needed anything for supper, forget the grocery store, I went to my freezer, and there was supper! It was such a nice gift.

Last business meeting at church a man stood up with new business. "We would love to start this new ministry, but we need a freezer. If we have to buy one it may take awhile to get the money; does anyone have one they can donate." I raised my hand; of course if the church needs it, that's what we needed to do. So I left the meeting happy that the Church was starting a new ministry that would help people afford groceries, but a little sad about the loss of my freezer. The more and more I thought about it though, I thought "God has provided so many times for us through gifts, this is no big deal. I don't have to have a freezer." So started our journey of eating everything in the freezer. For about two weeks now we've been cleaning it out, meal by meal!

Sunday morning I walked in church and a lady ran to me (literally, it was kind of funny) and said "You'll never believe this, someone called the Church and wants to donate a freezer, and it is about three times the size of yours. We don't need yours anymore." To her it was exciting that God had provided even greater then what we thought we'd need. To me, I knew God had honored my giving. It may sound small to you, but it was a moment I'll never forget. God knows the desires of our heart, even if they are as simple as excitement over freezer meals!

I love that God is so personal that he can love me enough to let me keep my freezer!
I hope that God shows how much he loves you in a very personal way this week!
