One thing God has done for us in the last year happened one afternoon in our house. Aad had just launched his business and we were having a hard time making ends meet. We have been there before :-)
As we were chatting what to do we were going through all the options of what we could do to get out of this mess. Robbing a bank was the only thing we did not consider - yet. It was a serious conversation and we were really sad about what happened. Lots of questions and no answers. What were we to do? We gave each other a hug and that made us feel at least a little better. When Aad went upstairs to get back to work he noticed an envelope on the doormat. In the envelope was a card and when we opened it, 200 euro fell out. On the card, which had no name, it said:
'I, the Lord, will look after you'.
Don't know what you would do but we were in tears...of joy this time. We went from desperation to hope. God was with us and he wanted us to know that he will take care of us. Sure enough that 200 euro did not cover everything but God wanted us to know that he knows and he is taking care of us.
Since then God has been faithful to his words and every time things get a bit low in the old bank account, we remember the day that God wrote us a card. Then we are filled again with hope that things will change. And do you know what is so amazing: we are no more special than you! God wants to look after you as well because he is good and he is your father!
Finally, we want to say something to the people who wrote this card: you are amazing! God used you to bless us and give us a new story of God's goodness. We want to be like you and write cards like that too.
