Pastor's Note

Print

Just a few weeks ago, I called up one of our shut-ins named Betty to schedule a visit. She was glad to hear my voice and welcomed my visit. I began packing up some communion materials to share with her, and also began thinking about some small gift I could bring as well. Chocolate coated pretzels popped into my mind, so on my way to visit her, I stopped at the store and bought some for Betty.

As I walked into her house, I found her sitting at her table waiting for me. When I handed over the chocolate coated pretzels, her eyes widened in shock. She asked, "Where did you get these?" I responded "ACME, next to the church." Then she asked, "Really, we can get these in NJ?" I said, "Of, course."

Then she said "Please give me a minute, I need to call my daughter who lives in South Carolina. I need to stop the mail". It seemed odd to me that out of the blue she suddenly needed to call her daughter.

Then she explained, "I have been craving for chocolate coated pretzels, so this morning I called my daughter to send some. Then, my pastor walked into my house with them." That explained why she was so surprised to receive the chocolate coated pretzels.

Some people might say, "What a coincidence!" But I believe it was God's touch to supply Betty's need anonymously. God knew what Betty was seeking and used me to bring them to her.

Thanks be to God!
