We had the gospel pantry today and had three groups come and stand in the cold just to get a few dollars of groceries. Nearly 30 of them were widows and women over 80. We gave food to over 120 people after our gospel services.
God has a sense of humor. Last night the director of our pantry and I were talking. We had only 1 1/2 tables of food. Enough for about 40 people. He went to Trader Joe's last night and they had nothing to give us. Another ministry had cleaned out the donation bin. Yet he ran into the head manager of the store who is a believer. The manager said he wanted to visit our services. He wants to help us. Robert and I went to bed wondering what was going to happen today. He got up this morning prayed and went to the Bowery Mission. When he arrived he couldn't find the individuals who could help us and when he was leaving the building, in walked one of the directors who told him that he had just called him on the phone and told him to come and get some food. They had hundreds of fresh whiting fish on ice and hundreds of loaves of bread. He loaded the bread and fish into the van and drove back to the mission. Once again God supplied bread and fish for those in need. My van is going to smell of fish for the next two weeks to remind me of the need to ask Him for daily bread, and realize that He can still multiply bread and fish to supply those who come and hear the gospel of His dear Son.
