A sad story came to our attention – an elderly mother whose home burned down, with all she owned inside. She is now staying with her daughter, who has little herself, but is trying her best to care for her displaced mother. Thank God, we were able to bring a double bed, cupboard, cleaning supplies, bedding/towels, crockery, an ironing board, heater, and a lot of foodstuffs for them – thus reminding them that Someone cares, and easing the burden on the daughter’s shoulders. We also spent some time speaking with and praying for them. How wonderful to know the truth of and be a part of God’s steadfast promise ” I will not leave you comfortless, I will come to you!” (John 14:18)
