From time to time during our worship and intercession times here at the base we take up offerings for differing things, sometimes base needs, other times to bless people, ministries, etc. On Monday we took up an offering for students who are currently in our schools. The total of the outstanding debt was around $14,000. In the matter of 20 minutes 150 people who are mostly well beyond broke (according to most of the general american understanding) raised over $8000. Now, that's a miracle. And because I am privileged to work in the accounting office I get to see the money get turned in. Every person who faithfully paid their $5.00, their $2.00, their $.59! No gift was too small. God is faithful.
Every time we do this in our community I am blown away and encouraged, and honored that God would use us to bless others.
How has God blessed you today? How has He used YOU to bless others? We always have something to offer.
