Morning thought 5
Friday 13th April
Buna dimineata Good morning.
.
Recently I have been sending out reports to those people who sponsor
needy Romanian pensioners through Mustard Seed Jersey’s Adopt a Granny
sponsorship programme. Some of the accounts about the difference that the help
from Jersey makes really do bring tears to your eyes / at least they do to mine
when I’m reading through the reports and sometimes I end up correcting the spelling
in the reports the Romanian social workers have written.
I was particularly struck by one report. The sponsor had given some
extra money which was sent across at the beginning of January. The Romanian
social worker wrote
“It is amazing. Florin needed new shoes very badly. The money came when
his shoes fell apart and his feet were cold and wet. With the money we went to
buy new warm waterproof boots and we bought him socks and a warm jacket. Florin
now has a large smile and he tells me now he knows God answers his prayers. For
he had prayed to God for help and then the money arrived. Now he can’t stop
smiling and thanking God”
It’s not just those in desperate need who can pray to God. All of us -
any of us can pray. So can I encourage you to pray and ask God for what you
need and like Florin remember to be grateful for the answer.
