POURING RAIN

Awoke this morning early to the sounds of thundering and lighting and pouring rain. Received a phone call not long afterward from a friend in Michigan that was very excited to share of the Lord's faithfulness in her house, neighborhood, and in her daily life. All that she was telling me was causing me to remember details of God's generosity in my life. Her sheer joy to give of what she has been given and then to watch how God chooses to refill the storehouse is really something worth hearing. Coming to a beautiful understanding of "blessed are the poor in spirit..."

The Lord has supplied more than enough bread for her and her house and so they are going to start sharing with their hungry neighbours.

"NOW HE THAT SUPPLIES SEED TO THE SOWER AND BREAD FOR THE EATER, AND MULTIPLIES YOUR SEED SOWN, AND INCREASE THE FRUITS OF YOUR RIGHTEOUSNESS..." II Corininthians 9:10

Each conversation I have with others increases my desire to pray more for others and to realize that this too is sowing and reaping.
