(As told by T) “Tomorrow we will give food parcels to about 700 people”, was the thought running through my head. “We have potatoes, carrots, soup, etc. but wouldn’t it be great to give every person a nice, fresh apple?” With that in mind, and trying to keep costs to a minimum, I started looking for the best place to buy them. I found a supermarket with a pretty good deal on apples and off we went. After loading all the apples on sale in our trolley we still needed more so  I started adding all the none-sale apples as well. I was thinking’ “Well, we can’t show up with apples for some people, so even though it will cost a lot more we’ll make sure to have enough for all.

As I was standing in line for the till a young couple with two small children stood in line behind me. “Go ahead of me.” I said, pointing to my enormous load of apples. “This will take a while.” They looked at my trolley with questioning eyes and I explained we were going to give these apples to all the residents of a local town-ship the next morning. The lady smiled “What a nice gesture!”, she said and went to the till in front of me.

The manager helped me scan through the bags, making sure everything was in order. Then, just as the last bag of apples was scanned, the husband of the family in front of us walked back to us, gave the till-lady his credit card and said; “I want to pay for the apples!” Wow! I didn’t know what to say. I just thanked the man, with tears in my eyes gave him a big hug, and praised the Lord for His wonderful supply and for this sweet, kind couple.

I didn’t get your names but the Lord surely knows and has everything written down in His Big Book. The next day hundreds of people were treated to food parcels and every single one of them got a nice, yummy, crisp, fresh apple!
