Mike and I started a hospital ministry about one and half years ago. Alot of people have joined in to help provide onsies, blankets, cloth diapers and pins, and beanie babies to go inside a gallon zip lock bag. About a month ago, my dear friend, Martha Edwards was heading out with her husband Mr. Jack to an estate sell. This is a normal Saturday outing for the Edwards. Mrs. Martha enjoys collecting antiques and etc etc. Well this particular Saturday God has something different in mind for her to collect. She arrives in Pittsborough to see what she would be taking home to add to her treasures. The auction started and as the morning went on the auctioneer brought out a box of beanie babies. Mrs. Martha immediately started bidding on the box of beanie babies. In the back of her mind she had already decided these beanie babies were making a trip to Honduras. Well, as you can see in the pictures above Mrs. Martha won the bid on the first box of beanie babies. She walked up to the auctioneer and told him these beanie babies were going to Honduras. The auctioneer proceeded to tell the audience about the journey these beanie babies were fixing to take. He then pulled out another box of beanie babies and folks started bidding on this box and someone got the highest bid, went to gather his beanie babies and walk directly over to Mrs. Martha and said please send my beanie babies to Honduras with yours. The next box of beanie babies came out and someone else won the bid on those beanie babies and this person walked over and asked Mrs. Martha to send his beanie babies to Honduras as well. I am not sure how many more times this took place but when it was all said and done she had received 300 beanie babies which are all coming to Honduras. Someone even went up to her and gave her money to help pay for the shipping. My friend, Mrs. Martha sat there with beanie babies all around her with tears in her eyes never knowing this was how her morning was going to turn out. She got up in front of the crowd of people and thanked them for their kindness and generosity. They helped her and Mr. Jack load the beanie babies in her car and off she went with a job well done in the name of Jesus. We never know what God has in store for us each and everyday. God is so good all the time. The cool part of all this is our supply of beanie babies is low right now and God provides us with all we need, even beanie babies.
"Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them." Mark 11:24
