GOD STILL WORKING MIRACLES

When you spend your time on behalf of someone else, miracles happen. This week we spent our time loving on a family building them their own special miracle, a house! We had received a gift from some friends in La Harpe, Illinois and they were the reason we found the property we are looking to buy to expand our ministry to the poor. They wanted to bless us with this gift to help with the purchase or whatever else God led us to do with the money. I believe that God will make happen for us, what we make happen for someone else. We want to see God provide us with the money to buy this house, so we sowed a house into the lives of another family with the money. Not long after we started to build Felipe' and Lilliana their house, one of our faith full supporters saw how this new house would expand our ministry to a new level, offered to help with a lease/ purchase of the new property until our house sells. MIRACLES, MIRACLES. Sow a pumpkin seed, you get pumpkins, sow a smile, you get a smile, sow seeds of love and love is what you will get love returned, but sow a house into the lives of a needy family and reap a harvest you'll never experience until you do it! The joy on their faces when Felipe' carried Lilliana across the threshold priceless. We could have used the money toward the new house for ourselves, but why? The bible says in Luke 6 vs 38 " GIVE AND IT SHALL BE GIVEN UNTO YOU, PRESSED DOWN AND RUNNING OVER A FULL MEASURE. So sowing with an expectation of God fulfilling His word is the faith that pleases God. I drove to Harlingen after church yesterday to pick up all the lovely gifts sent down from the women's tea at Moraine Valley Church donated for the women in the colonia. Gift bags full of all sorts of nice things for the women, so THANK YOU to all that gave. Woody operates a food bank in Joliet and brought the stuff down along with tons of other stuff for the people in Mexico, another divine connection! Mikee, Ryan and Dolly are here from IIT to build the house they designed and I hear them stirring around, so I gotta go. ADIOS and expect a miracle today!!
