Back a couple years ago, we would go every Friday and cook lunch for the guys working at the plant. There was an abundance of work, and they were having to work overtime. It was definitely a season of bounty. We loved preparing the food for them. Quite often, we would make a family trip to do the grocery shopping on Thursday night, then come home and do as much of the prep work as we could. Then on Friday, we would load up the van and head to Andrews Truss, Inc. It was a fun family activity, and a unique ministry opportunity.
Well, since the turn of the economy, we haven’t been able to do it. We’ve certainly been blessed with some work, but its rare to have people working overtime.
That’s why it was so exciting to hear the news when Daddy came home one night a few weeks ago and told us we were going to cook! There were squeals of delight! A really neat factor, is that when we were in NY, we older ones had spent some time praying with our cousin, and one request mentioned was the need for more work. And what do you know, the very next week we were cooking because there was a need for the guys to work overtime. What a testimony of how God answers prayers! And what an encouragement to keep praying!

What would we do without emoticons? I’m sure that if this world last a couple hundred years longer, and future historians are researching our culture, and our written language, they’re gonna look at these ” :), ;), !!!!!, LOL, ROTFL, and :(” signs, and wonder how to make sense of our “alphabet.”
…. :):):):)
Anyway, I’m thankful for answered prayer. Isn’t God good? 🙂
This is great news to hear!! It is wonderful and always a testimony and encouragement to see how God answers prayer, especially when you are the one who has been praying.
God is still wonderful and there for us when He answers differently than what we pray for. We have been on the receiving end of the prayers since Jacob was killed in Afghanistan. It is overwhelming
to feel the comfort of the Lord which is because of
the prayers of God’s people. It is those prayers that is sustaining our family. I thank the Lord for
these answers to prayer during a very difficult time
in the life of our family. What an honor and privilege we have to go before the throne of God and praise Him and bring our requests to Him. Thank you for your prayers.
Thank you for this encouraging post reminding us how
God cares and answers our prayers.
What a wonderful answer to prayer – thanks for sharing.
Praise the Lord! This is an encouraging report. Looks like a lot of fun!
What a testimony! Praise the LORD Who humbles Himself to look at the things that are in heaven and on the earth! (Ps. 113:6)
