I Know It's Not Inspirational Monday, But...

DH and I have started doing devotions together each night after dinner.  One of us reads the scripture and the other reads the devotional.  Tonight's scripture was from Matthew 6 - it was the scripture about  not worrying.

The devotion tonight choked me up.  Every year I do boxes through Samaritan's Purse (Operation Christmas Child).  The devotion was about a girl who also does that and one year she got to go to Costa Rica to help distribute the boxes.  They had handed out all of the boxes but one and there were four children left waiting for the boxes.  They didn't know what to do but decided really all they could do was to split the last box between the four children.  When they opened the box, there was four of everything!

God knew what would happen and I'm sure He planned for this from the time that someone packed the box.  Isn't that amazing?  Coincidence?  I think not.  God is real and He is still working today.

    That IS inspirational! Thanks for sharing. I did Operation Christmas Child this past year too, but I missed the deadline to pack my own box, so I did the online "choose what you want in the box" thing. Not quite as fun, but I'm sure it was still well-received by a child. Such a great organization and that is so amazing that there were 4 of everything in the box! God is good!

    wow, this gave me chills too. I loved this and needed it today :)

    I had never heard about this charity before, but it sounds great! My sister and I adopt angels instead of buying each other presents each year and take pictures of what the angel got.  Maybe we will start a new tradition :)
