Some Examples of God's Goodness

There was a knock on our door today. One of the guys that does our pick-ups stood there holding a crate of milk products for our family. Inside the crate was two gallons of skim milk (that Josh is going to use to make yogurt), at least 10 little cups of strawberry yogurt, and 4 cups of peach yogurt, a half gallon of Egg Nog (which is ALL Josh's) and a whole gallon of chocolate milk. Thank you, Lord.

The Sunday before Christmas, Andy Merrick's brother Chris came to our front door. His church gave him several Thanksgiving meals to give to missionary families that he knew of...so we were given a whole turkey, instant stuffing, instant potatoes, a bag of rolls to brown in the over, some applesauce, and a box of brownie mix! Thank you, Lord!

A friend here at CMTS works at a local grocery store (her husband is Josh's boss in the shop). Because she is a worker, she was given a coupon to get either a 15 dollar turkey, or $15 off the purchase of a larger turkey. She had already bought a turkey, and wanted to get us a turkey using the coupon. She dropped off 2 halves of a 26 pound turkey! Thank you, Lord!

After Thanksgiving, we were given the remnants to 2 - 24 pound turkeys - plus turkey stock. Thank you, Lord!

I now have almost 2 gallons of turkey stock in my fridge waiting to go thru the canner. Thank you, Lord!

After sending out our Christmas letter (the second or third post in December), someone wrote in their Christmas letter a verse from the Bible that had been going thru my head while typing and editing Josh's letter.

• I have been young, and now am old; yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread.
  Psalm 37:24-26 (in Context)

If this post doesn't make sense, take a look at our Christmas letter, and you may get a better picture of what I am trying to say.
