Benay and I went to our sister's house yesterday to give her the extra funds that were brought to our house Sunday night for her to buy bus tickets to be with her sister (check yesterday's blog if you don't know about this).
When Benay gave her the money she gave Benay a very long hug and told her how much she felt a part of a real family. She told Benay that irregardless of how much money she had received for her trip, for the first time in her life she feels like she belongs to a family. She said she feels loved and, for the first time in her adult life, not alone.
When we woke up this morning we found a text message on our phone from her letting us know that she was on her way to be with her sister. She told us that, before she got on the bus, another sister in Christ had met her to give her even more money for her trip.
She ended up with three and a half times more than what she needed to buy the bus tickets. She could not believe God's goodness.
I found myself feeling very blessed that my family was able to witness our church family not only meet her need, but go above and beyond.
God is good. We are blessed that He is allowing us to be a part of what He is doing here.
