Our church has really been focused on ministering to the needy this year, so we decided to do food baskets. We are a small church so this was not a real big project but yet from the heart of everyone. We had eight names for baskets. We had all of the baskets ready to go. Well we had some baskets left to deliver so Christmas Eve, my husband, myself and our pastor set out to deliver. We could not find one family, which created somewhat of a problem, because the basket had a thawed turkey in it that needed to be cooked.

Well, a few days earlier I was on a computer repair call with my husband. I am sitting in the driveway waiting for him. When my eyes spot a lady and her little girl going in the house next door. Immediately I felt the Holy Ghost speak to me that she was in need. It was so overwhelming, I was crying. However, I thought I was just being emotional do to the season and kind of ignored it. After all, we have eight food baskets and eight names.

Back to the Christmas Eve delima. The pastor asks, "What are we going to do with this food basket? It is ten o'clock at night." Well, again I feel the prompting of the Holy Ghost to take it to that lady. We all wondered if we should go to a strangers door that late. We agreed we should.

Sooooo...up to the door I go. I knock and the lady answers with the two little girls at her side. I tell her, "Ma'am you are going to think that I am crazy but our church put together food baskets and I felt in the Holy Ghost that you are in need, so we are here with the basket and turkey." Tears start streaming down her face. Her aunt who lives with her says, "Are you serious? You are not going to believe this! I lost my purse yesterday with all of our money for groceries and Christmas in it. We have no food in the house for Christmas Dinner." I cannot tell the joy that I felt at that moment. That was the best Christmas present that I ever gave or received.

I loved reading this! Wonderful post.

Such a nice guy! but it might be a good idea to adjust your hearing aid.

DIfferent kind of deliverance, in mind when I wrote that, but I doubt you would understand..as for xmas stuff to hear it from so many it IS a big chore that is no fun, and its one of those chores I no longer have to do- eliminate the source eliminate the consequence; a person can still have a good time without all the "trap('scuse the pun)pings"., and I do.
Oh btw

You mean a "murdered" (by hacksaw) tree, right?

Kinda self-destructive to add to the ever growing problem of trees being cut down for profit, by BUYING them., as long as there is a demand there will be a non-ending supply of trees to be used merely as ornaments., our clean breathing oxygen is slowly disappearing, not just from the rainforests *along with all forms of life that exist there* A N D, so what is being left for future generations? nada
Its one thing to use trees for building homes or paper goods, but solely for nonproductive reasons?
I cannot see reason in this.
Stupid silly mankind is killing itself off slowly but surely, neither I nor any of my immediate family members will add to this self-destructiveness if we can help it., in any way(s)., we are pro-green, steadily working to help, not hinder, progress in this direction. Education is key., may this coming year find more people helping.
