So recently we started to receive messages for assistance from families and individuals, and even other organisations. This 21 day lock down in South Africa is impacting households greatly. I was really thinking of how we could assist. It’s never easy turning down a family that needs assistance, especially when you hear there are children involved. Some families are following procedures to try recover monies through UIF and other government sources. But it is not an overnight procedure.
So while we were sitting down and the children were dancing and playing in the braai room. I was chatting with Amy about "How exactly can we assist?" Amy told me to pray about it. That was pretty much the end of the conversation. I gave it some thought and had supper and called it a night. As I was falling a sleep I just remember praying about "God's Kitchen".
The next morning I woke up abruptly as usual with one of our little ones wanting his morning tea. So as I was surfacing I remembered what had transpired the evening before. The immediate thought and feeling was different though. I said to myself "But you need to care for your family first. Because how can you help others if you do not have anything to give?" I remember Pastor Dave teaching me something that I will never forget and that is "You can't give something you don't have!" "You need to pray that God will give you a resource so that you can put it to use". I learned a lot about Luke through Pastor Dave.
Anyways, I was just about to jump into the shower when Amy got a phone call from Woolworths. They did not give us an idea of any amounts of food but said we are welcomed to collect. But I needed to go immediatelyto collect.
