The Cobleighs, the Kelleys and the Grays (my family) decided to meet for some fellowhips at Graceada Park on Saturday evening. We set up the grill and carried in all the gear and kicked back for a while. As we began to cook a bunch of kids (5) were hanging out near us. It turns out they were some kids from Family Promise, whom we had hosted a few months ago. I was recognized as the guy who cooked them pancakes. OK, guilty, every Saturday at Family Promise, I cook everyone their favorite breakfast. The kids were at the park so their mom and dad could have some quiet time together, age range of the kids was 13-18. Finally, I ask them if they were hungry and if they wanted to eat with us. They were hungry and we fed them.
Sometimes God places you at the right place at the right time to minister, this was the time for us (three families) to step up to the plate. At first glance they were kids with another group at the park, upon further review they were kids in need of food and safe company. I thank God for placing us there at that time. We went there to have a good time of family fellowship. God wanted us there for other reasons. Pray for these kids and their parents. They are living in a motel. My guess is the room is full there with five kids and two adults. Pray for their safety, the Inn they are living in is a rough place.
Remember, to be open for the service that God places near you.
make a difference for Him today,
Buddy
