The neatest thing happened which helped a little bit where my faith in God has been lately.
A friend brought us over some chicken soup because we're both sick. They
brought a card with it but I didn't open it. After they left, I had to go to
the bathroom so figured I would read the card while on the toilet. I opened the card, threw the envelope in the trash, and headed towards the bathroom.
Inside the card was written how they know we are struggling right now and to Please (they emphasised please) accept this. I'm reading & thinking...."I
wonder why so dramatic? It's only chicken soup!" (which I am grateful for)
Well, I got off the toilet and as I walked into the bedroom I noticed a check on the floor. It must have fallen out of the card. Anyway this check was for the EXACT AMOUNT that my chemo & radiation are going to cost. These people had NO IDEA about this.
I thanked God cause I really needed something good to happen. I am getting
weary and my faith is failing.
Haven't heard a word since from Pastor Whatever! That congregation is going to be devestated! Not even sure I want to be there Sunday morning.
Pretty sure, if I DO go this sunday, it will be my last there. I am NOT
staying.
I want to tell pastor & his daughter (in charge of christian ed) both that because of their stubborness & the need to be "in charge" all the time, they not only chased away their congregation, they also chased away their son, and brother! I MAY very well tell them that when I see them.
I'm still angry about this whole thing. But don't worry,I won't hold on to it
for too long.
God has TRUELY BLESSED ME TODAY!!!
THANK YOU LORD!!
