Hello there, how is the coffee brewing?

Its been a long time since I made a new page.
Sunday was really one of those odd days, but I could see God working. He always provides our needs. At church I gave a man that has cancer some money and told him to take his wife and 3 kids out to eat. It was the first time he has was able to come to church after getting out of the hospital and he does not have a job and cannot work anymore; he is starting to look like a skelton from the chemo.)
He tried to give the money back to me but I told him NO, that God told me to give it to him, and I walked off so he would not try to give me the money back again.... When we got home, I was going to fix up my large bowl of veggies I eat on, so I opened the freezer to get them out, and everything had melted, all the meat and food, pies were defrosted and then I found the Freezer was unplugged.
This has never happened the 29 yrs. we have had this large chest freezer, one of the kids must have been messing with it. We had to throw away a lot of stuff and we had just bought groceries a few days ago. A few of the meat packages on the botton next to a half melted bag of ice were Ok so we cooked up the meat, threw away the other meat and some veggies that were warm. We cleaned out the freezer, (seems like the only way to get it defrosted, ha!)
I put back most of the veggies to refreeze them and hope they are ok, put the butter back and hope it is ok also. We had to throw away a lot of unbaked pies, and I am so glad I had not made my fruit cakes yet and had them in there.... About this time, our pastor came over and he brought us 4 large sacks of potatoes and a box full of gala apples. I gave him some corn on the cob and an apple pie from the freezer that was completely thawed out for him to take home and cook right then. (the reason I did not cook the other pies instead of throwing them out, is that I was too tired from cooking up a lot of the veggies, cleaning out freezer and loading it again, and from going to church and out to eat.)
After He left, I gave the 4 sacks of potatoes to someone else for his wife to make potato salad from this sunday's church thanksgiving meal (I cannot eat potatoes and she said she likes them alot)
Then since there were enough apples that would take me weeks to eat them before they would ruin, I took some of the apples to the kids next door to us. Now, look at how many people were blessed with food because our freezer got un-plugged, We got blessed by our pastor bringing us food, in return another friend and his family were blessed with what we took to him, and the people in the church will be blessed with potato salad or what ever is made from the potatoes, and I was blessed from giving, and it all started with me giving that man money.
We cannot out give God; GLORY!..
Love in Christ, Linda
