Our dedicated little group meets twice monthly (the second and fourth Thursday) at a little country church, for sewing, crocheting, knitting, etc. That church has been so kind to let us leave our things there and not have to cart them around. And like most of us who have sewing rooms, the supplies seem to be like that movie "Gremlins"! I really think they multiply during the night.
So our "stuff" (I mean, very important supplies) has started to grow and GROW, until now a couple of people have started to comment. I thought we might have to pare it all down to a manageable level, maybe have each board member take some of it home to store, and bring back each time we meet.
But NO! I couldn't believe it when I was told that the church really likes hosting our group so they decided... get ready... drum roll...
They decided to pay a carpenter $1,500 to build "built-ins" into their fellowship hall to store all our bins of fabric, trimmings, sewing machines, etc! Can you believe it? We are so grateful for the ongoing surprises God has had in store for our little group. One lady contributed a few dollars and said she wished she had more money to donate. Another group had some canning jars to sell, and then gave us that money. People are incredible.
And our Heavenly Father just watches over us and arranges things every time we meet. Our fellowship times and mutual counsel has been priceless for all who join in. Thank you Lord, for these friends, for these projects, and for the way you always provide just what we need - just when we need it! Amen!

I love the way doing things for others spreads out and reaches people you may never have thought of, like the carpenter the church hired. Perhaps this job is just what he needed at a time when he really needed it. The items you make may be given to someone at a time when they really need it, just as the Lord provided these things for you - just when you needed it! Barb in Bethel, OH
You can NEVER out give God!! Thank you for what you do for the least of these.

We have the best God in the world. He always supplies our needs. Now, if He would only supply our wants too.
This is great!
God always watches over His people who trust Him. Thank you for what you do. Love you
Sounds like a wonderful and supportive church. So glad that you found each other and that you are sharing blessings with them.
