PRAISE BREAK, EVERYONE!

A situation that occurred a handful of years ago, before I ever came here last October to minister, in our local church involving a married brother and sister. That situation required things to be made right with another couple who have long since lost contact with the local couple. This has been years that this loss of contact occurred. People moved, phone numbers changed, etc., etc.

In the meantime, we move here last October. In fact the former pastor here told me about this other couple whom he would like to contact and get things right, since the last time they had contact viewpoints were quite different, but light was realized later and the pastor wanted to see things smoothed out and made right.

My son had moved up with us from the USA back home to Canada. He stayed in the nearby city while we entered pastorate in this smaller town. My son stayed with my older son and his family til he could find work. Could not find work for months, and time came for my younger son to obtain his own dwelling and move out. Did not have a place to move into. So, I called the pastor where both my sons attend church in the city.

"Have a place for my son to rent or board, on short notice -- two days?" lol

"Will contact the congregation by email and see who might have a place."

Two days went by and no place, so we pick him up and bring him here home with us for the weekend. He has to go back to work in three more days, but the day after we pick him up they find a place for him to stay in the city. We take him to the city to meet the people and have him ready for work as well. THE PEOPLE ARE THE COUPLE WHO LOST CONTACT WITH OUR LOCAL COUPLE, and I am thrown in the midst of it all and hear the whole story.

Turned out that an open door of reconciliation and forgiveness were always there during the last several years between the contact the two couples had with each other. Out of 700,000 people, I land in the couple's home on a spur-of-the-moment email response for my son to get a place to rent. This couple in the city had only started going to my son's church a year ago.

Everyone is feeling joy and praising God and GOD IS DIRECTING THE WHOLE THING AND DOING A GOOD JOB OF IT!

That is awesome, it is amazing how God works on things or brings them about... just amazing.

We have had some miracles that was only God moving and working things out in our lives too lately. Our God is an awesome God!!

Awesome and so like God!!

I remember when I was carrying my son, a woman and I seemed to keep having the same dates for our doctor's checkups. We talked about God each time. She was having such a horrible life! I didn't see her the last month of our checkups and I prayed that I would see her again.

When I came out of Delivery, they told me that they were very sorry for being so booked that they couldn't give me a private room. I said that's fine. When they wheeled me into my room - the lady I prayed to see again was in the other bed!!! Praise the Lord!!!
