Scriptures For a Time Like This; Exodus 16

Dear Sisters and Brothers In Christ,

Today's scripture is Exodus 16- the "manna" of heaven that rains down upon the Israelites in the wilderness.  Like the Red Sea crossing, it is a story long beloved and believed by the faithful; a testimony to the generosity of God, the abundance of creation, and that miracles do happen.

Miracles are beautiful to behold.  Miracles are like a metaphysical "muscle."  The more one experiences miracles, the more one looks for miracles; the more one sees miracles, the more one experiences miracles.

Sometimes God uses us to bring a miracle of "manna" upon another.  Today was a perfect experience.  
After The Shepherd's Pantry ended, we had about 50 pounds of left-over potatoes. Not knowing what to do, it was decided to bring them to The New Testament Mission on Sebring Parkway/Lemon.

We drove to the Mission, came up to their kitchen and offered the potatoes.  Michelle, the cook, came outside, all excited.  "Just 30 seconds ago I was telling the crew that we had everything ready for dinner, but we just needed potatoes, and right after I said that, you popped your head in the window!"

What a wonderful experience; what a miracle to behold!  Thanks to everyone's generosity, not only did we feed over 100 families at The Shepherd's Pantry, but we helped feed a large number of community members downtown who are currently without a home.

Little Miracles do indeed happen every day!

Be blessed, Pastor George
