As we were distributing groceries last week, a woman approached me seeking a ride to her home. She lived in the area of 61st and South Peoria. I announced the lady’s need to the crowd, but no one responded to it. A few minutes later another lady told me that she was not going that way, but she would take her home.
I offered the lady a few dollars cash to pay for her gas. Her response surprised me, “Don’t steal this blessing from me. In my need, I want to help her.”
What faith! It reminded me of the Macedonian Church of 2 Corinthians 8 who gave out of their deep poverty. Giving is a grace that the apostle Paul says we should do, no matter our own condition. I pray that this lady will be blessed to overflowing because of her generosity.
At Loaves and Fishes, our guests are learning about faith and how to apply it to their lives. Thank you for helping us to expand the Kingdom of God.
Your friend,
Milo Reno
“They have been tested by great troubles, and they are very poor. But they gave much because of their great joy.” 2 Corinthians 8:2 (NCV)
