Good things

And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him who have been called according to his purpose. Romans 8:28

We quote it, we remind others in difficult times, we hope for it........ and it is true and real! Our church got broken into on Thursday. Someone put a very large rock through my office window and proceeded to search the office for cash. They took petty cash boxes with about $550, and one cheap video camera. Could have been a lot worse. The most frustrating part was getting the glass fixed before the weekend.

I called the glass place and they had a guy there Friday morning to measure. To be honest, I was very busy and had not even submitted my outline for the Sunday program and slides. As I sat at my desk trying to work while the man measured the hole in the wall, I courteously asked him where he went to church. A divine appointment followed. 30 minutes later, I had shared my testimony and the gospel, and he was leaving with a "be my guest" card and a "steps to peace with God" track. Thanks for that conversation God!

As for the glass...... no problem turned into can't do it until Monday! grrrrrrrrr...... So Monday rolls around and another gentleman strolls in (just as I was leaving a message wondering where my glass was). It was the glass guy. "So what kind of church is this", he asked........ :-) Here we go again! Same story, second verse (minus the track).......

When we are available and listening, God lets us in on what he is doing! God is inviting you and I again today to walk with Him. He'll bring the opportunity!

Thank you God for turning a negative into a praise! Oh yeah, the kicker......... no deductible for stolen cash! Insurance reimbursed it all, and the kingdom was advanced! It doesn't get any better than that!
