Remember the days when Hannibal, from The A-Team, would say, "I love it when a plan comes together". I definitely am in that category. I recently accompanied the Colyar family from Boulder City, NV on a trip to the Tougan area, where I grew up. One of the things they had wanted to do was to distribute food to people in need. We determined to give a 200 lb of corn to every retired pastor or retired pastor's widow. These people have served the Lord for years with the bare minimum of support. Most of them received no more than $3 a month for support from the church. The bag of corn blessed them greatly. To have someone recognize their years of service was an encouragement.
At one home, the home of Pastor Francois and Rebeccah, we delivered three bags of corn because they had many people living there and depending on them, in spite of their own poverty. When we off-loaded the bags of corn, Pastor Francois told us that just the day before they had swept the rest of their grain in the storeroom and didn't know where the next food would come from. Then we showed up! I love it when a plan comes together. Thank you, Lord.
