A Toilet Paper Testimony

A Toilet Paper Testimony 

A few weeks back we were in a tight spot.  Payday was still more then a week away and I had nothing on ebay.  

We only had one roll of toilet paper left.  

My husband had taken a paid vacation day off so we could get some things done.  One of the things we needed to do is re-apply at the food pantry.  (not only do we volunteer there, we are clients too..)

Hubby had taken in the needed paperwork and when he left the lady gave him a 4 count package of toilet paper. (note, He did not say we needed toilet paper..she just gave it to him)

When hubby came home I saw the toilet paper and was like "PRAISE GOD!!" I told him we were on our last roll.

Now, this toilet paper was the off brand of the off brand, it was not soft, it was thin. You almost had to make a "catchers mitt" to wipe yourself and then it  clogged our toilet. But it was better then using leaves I thought

almost a week later and payday was still 3 days a way, we had one roll left.

Now, this was not magic toilet paper and it  did not keep on multiplying as the sheets were being used. 

God Knew we needed this off brand, cheap, thin rough toilet paper to last us until we had  the funds to buy decent toilet paper.

Then I started to think about the Israelites in the desert.  How God humbled them and fed them,  How their clothes did not wear out and how their  shoes grew with their feet. (Deuteronomy 8:3-5)

were the Israelites happy that they had to wear the same clothes, shoes and eat the same food for 40 years?  God had to bring them to a place were they completely depended on Him.  God provides all of our needs according to his riches and Glory (Philippians 4:19)

They were Humbled.

Then on a Thursday I had gotten a pattern order, one of the first things I did was run out and got a package of the softest toilet paper I could buy!!

So last week when I was doing some major couponing/shopping I loaded up on Toilet paper.  I bought 5 big packages.  I felt comfort having all of my soft toilet paper.

Fast Forward to this week.

It came to my attention that a family I know has a need for some household items and food.  I know this is a need I can meet for this family.

So yesterday I began getting a care package together.  Filling it with food and couple of household items.

I had just bought a 10 count package of paper towels and put 2 rolls in the care package.

I asked God what else I should give.  I saw my toilet paper...I have ONLY ONE PACKAGE LEFT.... I was like God, how about I just give another roll of paper towels...

God reminded me how he met my need.  Now, I don't know if this family needs the toilet paper or not, But I Know i should give this toilet paper. 

If God Knows how many hairs are on my head (Luke 12:7, Matthew 10:30)  THEN HE KNOWS HOW MANY SQUARES I NEED!!

I ain't gonna worry..I know God has my backside

The Angel Up on the tomb stone said he has Risen Just as He said!!!

Hear the bells ringing
They're singing that you can be born again
Hear the bells ringing
They're singing Christ is risen from the dead
The angel up on the tombstone
Said He has risen, just as He said
Quickly now, go tell his disciples
That Jesus Christ is no longer dead
Joy to the world, He has risen, hallelujah
He's risen, hallelujah
He's risen, hallelujah
Hear the bells ringing
They're singing that you can be healed right now
Hear the bells ringing, they're singing
Christ, He will reveal it now
The angels, they all surround us
And they are ministering Jesus' power
Quickly now, reach out and receive it
For this could be your glorious hour
Joy to the world, He has risen, hallelujah
He's risen, hallelujah
He's risen, hallelujah, hallelujah
The angel up on the tombstone
Said He has risen, just as He said
Quickly now, go tell his disciples
That Jesus Christ is no longer dead
Joy to the world, He has risen, hallelujah
He's risen, hallelujah
He's risen, hallelujah

TOM YUM helps the flu......

When I am really sick..spicy soup of any back ground makes me happy. Hubby has been sick.
..(so I whispered in his ear..Tom Yum A thai seafood noodle bowl soup)...

I just love it any when I am not.   I am huge lover of Vietnamese Beef stew, from Pho Grand In St. Louis off of Grand. (this was hubby and I's first date!!!)

Love Indian Food from Rasoi...(from the central west end in st. louis).

but since we don't live in the city any more I was so Happy when Thai Rama opened up.  I generally do not like Thai food..prefer Vietnamese 

but, boy oh boy, this spot hits the place for the cuisine I love  when I need spice and everything nice.

located in
Crystal City MO....

until we eat again my friends,

Heidi

Another Who Took the FUN out of FUNerals~~ TRUE STORIES FROM THE VAULT

ANOTHER TRUE STORY FROM THE VAULT

We had friends that were part of praise and worship team of the church we went to.

they would donate time for for services to folks to the community that needed them.

their job was to do the music.

before the days of CD'S and MP3S, it was only a good ole' fashion tape.

They dubbed some funeral sounding music over an existing tape they had.

When all was present for the attending of the funeral the music began to play.

It was an open casket viewing. 

they hit play for the music to play...

everybody heard..

"UP FROM THE GRAVE HE ROSE..."
