A Bathroom for Valentine's Day
Thank you Samaritan’s Purse angels for our new
bathroom!
For
my valentine…
Remember
when we got married over twenty-three years ago, under a cloudless summer sky…Pastor Mike
read from Philippians 4:19. “And my God will meet all your needs according to
the riches of His glory in Christ Jesus.” We were encouraged that we wouldn’t
be a couple of starving artists getting married a month after my college
graduation. Only God knew how much this verse would mean to us after having
five kids. No matter how tight our budget, He always provided enough—even if we
hoped for more than enough. And we had each other no matter how hard life could
get. We could always laugh through it all.
And
now we’ve experienced His riches in blessing…from having everything torn away
by the flood to having a brand new kitchen and bathroom…more than we could have
imagined. We did nothing to deserve this blessing, just loved God. We could
never love Him as much as He loves us. These are only “things” but how much
more do we appreciate these things after not having them for over a year!
The
best part is that standing in our kitchen or bathroom we can feel Christ’s love
poured out through the willing hands of the Samaritan’s Purse volunteers. They
worked so hard to give us this gift. They are the riches of His glory! God has
kept His promise as He always does. We have to celebrate—we got a bathroom
for Valentine’s Day!
