There sometimes is so much going on, that I forget to share how we've been able to watch Holy Spirit move & work to provide. I want to do this as anonymously as possible, so I'll be vague...while still trying to give enough information that God receives the glory for what He is doing all around us. I also need to add, that this is not all given to us or by us. We are just the coordinators for this great, amazing work that Holy Spirit is accomplishing!
June- Gift cards for groceries, diapers & formula were collected and given to a single mom.
July- One couple was able to do 2 small home repairs for a single mom.
July- 5 adults coordinated a single mom's picnic in the park. Two families (moms and 8 children) participated. We received donations for pizza, the picnic shelter and all the families (single moms too!) helped pitch in food. Bottom line...we had fun & met some new people!
July- Holy Spirit laid upon the heart of one single mom to have a mini-food drive for another single mom. Several families participated and I'd conservatively estimate that over 125 pounds of food, cleaning & household products were donated. One person also donated a $200 grocery gift card.
August- Several free Reds tickets were donated so that some families that otherwise couldn't, were able to have a night out at a Reds game.
August- One family received financial donations & gift cards.
August- One mom in a difficult marriage/financial situation received a $200 grocery card.
August- One family received a gift card for back to school shoes.
September- One family going through multiple life-changing events received about 50 pounds of food & household products plus some newborn baby clothes.
I'm sure there is much more! What we give in secret, only the Holy Spirit knows...and that is as it should be. But I also never want to fail to give Him the glory for what we KNOW He is doing!!!
