Helping out a friend
Posted by Stories | Filed under faith stimulus
My friend and co-worker is being deployed to Iraq for the second time. He first has to go to California and then to North Carolina before going over seas. My wife and I have been wanting to help out his family, or help try to send his wife to see him before leaving the country. The message with the Faith Stimulus just really hit home to me, and we were thinking of her. That night out of the blue she had called us to see how we had been, and we hadn’t talked to her for a month. It definitely felt like God was telling us that we needed to do something for her. I talked to my boss, family, friends and got a collection going. I wanted to get this money to her soon because I didn’t know when she would be able to go and see her husband. Through this stimulus and other people’s generosity, we were able to give her a nice sum of money that would help her to go. And when we were telling her about how this started with our church and the faith stimulus, she said she had gotten an envelope through the mail from someone she didn’t know! (I saw someone else’s story, the help for a military family, and I know it’s the same people we are talking about!) That is so awesome how it all came together for her and her family! Thank you God for this and for blessing all of us!– Charlie and Amber R.
