Today was exciting for me. We made food deliveries to friends that I have known for some time and in one case the living condition was much better now than it was before. Someone who was needing housing now has their own place and a good relationship with family.
I was happy to pray for several other people who had physical problems. I know that God cares for them and wants to use these opportunities to show them how much he cares. I will visit someone who is in hospital. I want to encourage people not just deliver food to them and befriend them.
At another house we visited a woman who is struggling with her addiction. One of the Partners in Hope women has been her friend for a long time and she is so thankful for this person who has been a real help and a real friend. This woman was so happy to see us come. That's what we want with many people ... to be their friend in a way that brings joy to them. I pray for this woman that God will protect her from harmful people and harmful circumstances.
At another house where we delivered food to a large family, the son was there when we brought the food and he was interested in volunteering. I asked him if he was available next week and he agreed to come. My prayer for him is that through this experience he will see what Christians are like and gain some desire to get to know Jesus.
I had much joy in doing this simple work of delivering food.
