Not long ago my son reminded me of an experience we had while pastoring a small church. Our ministry was to criminals, poor people, we let the homless people sleep in or homes and meeting place. food was constantly a need the ministry never asked for much especialy money.
As we were about to leave for a short vacation my son very young at the time asked me if we had any money to go on. i said all I have is a check book , God will help us.
After our meeting that day a lady I had ony met once before walked up to me and handed me a check saying "God told me to give this to you 6 months ago, I am sorry it is late, it is for you to do with what you want."
I put the check in my pocket thanking her. When i opened it I saw a check for what i thought was a few hundred dollars it was for 7,000 dollars, most of which we used for the poor.
Bill, we were a baptist church at the time
