Ask and you shall receive! Every good and perfect gift is from above James 1:17🤎
Story time! 🤎🐄🥩🤎🐄🥩🤎
I was asked to share an update about House 1:14 at my church this past spring. In preparation for that they asked me to put together an Amazon with list, so I did! He also asked me to think of a couple big asks and let’s see what God does! So after some thought, since we were nearly out of beef and our security camera system is aging I came up with a cow and a security system! That day I shared in the interview an update and we soon came to the needs question! We teased about the cow…which was noted as not to be kept as an animal out to pasture in our yard 🐄 but to become a ton of beef 🍔! And wouldn’t you know, before I was even done talking someone texted offering to supply the beef! Through the coarse of the day we had someone offer Sloppy Joe meat! Some one offer beef they had to get us by! We had another offer a soon to be coming partial quarter that would come soon! And the full beef that needed to be found, finished, and butchered! Wow! Does God ever provide!! Today was pick up day for the full beef! So very thankful to our Lord Jesus, First Missionary Church, all of our beef donors, Manly Meats, and the volunteers that helped me unload it for filling our 2 deep freezers full of beef! Another question we received was can you store that!! Yes, why yes we can!! We have 2 large deep freezers in the basement that we use regularly sometimes for Sam’s Club runs, cookies and pork we have also had donated (but that’s another story)! And as for now it’s with deep deep gratitude that I humbly say thank you. A full freezer must mean we will be around awhile fixing lots of food for lots of kids! We have lots of goals anticipating our 10th anniversary! Being around for another 10 years and getting back to 5 days is part of them! With all this meat, I’m trusting that’s going to happen! Praise God from whom all blessings flow! Praise the Lord with us for the 400 pounds of beef!!!
