GOD'S PERFECT TIMING


Hi guys,


Hope you had a good week. I have another amazing story to share with you. I always give flowers to the workers at one of our local restaurants. Then one day, the Lord showed me that there was one person there I had never given a flower to. I searched my mind for answers, but I could not come up with one.

Finally, I decided to offer her a little flower and she was very grateful. I expressed how sorry I felt for missing her out. I asked what her favorite colors were and agreed to make a very special arrangement in a few weeks.

Finally, weeks later, I picked a date to take in these flowers. Friends, God's timing is perfect.
The afternoon I arrived with the flowers, she said to me that I could not have picked a better time. She had just received word about 30 minutes before, that a relative had died and these flowers had come at the right time to cheer her up. GOD'S PERFECT TIMING!

A NURSE'S DREAM


Hi guys,


Hope you had a good week. God continues to do the most amazing things. May His name be praised. Below is a really compelling story about God's love. Above is a dream that a nurse wishes to share. I try very hard to give God the glory he deserves.

I thank Him for sharing His wisdom with me, like learning to make floral arrangements without ever going to class. Thank you Jesus for sharing your wisdom with me.

Have a good week!

GOD SHOWS HIS LOVE


I am really happy to share this joyful story with you. We had no idea that a relative of ours was in the hospital. But, when we received the news and how sad she felt, we thought it was important to cheer her up.

My husband and I arrived that day to a ward that was shared by six patients. Although it was clean and modern, the mood was not very good. There seemed to a feeling of gloom.

We had our visit with our relative and she felt very happy. We also left her flowers.
As we departed, there was a patient in the middle of the ward, staring blankly and I also gave her some flowers. She was very grateful .
Shortly after leaving, my husband questioned why I had not given flowers to the lady (in the corner) next to her. I explained that she was asleep.

But, feeling a little guilty, I returned and found that lady(in the corner) awake. I immediately gave her some flowers. She was really happy, added to which fact the mood seemed to be more cheerful than when we initially arrived.

Later that night, I received a call from our relative stating that after we left, the lady (in the corner) broke down and cried , claiming that she had turned away from God because she did not think there was any goodness left. But now, she was convinced that God was still alive.

SHARING GOD'S WONDERFUL LOVE


Hi guys,
Glad to be back from a much needed break. I met someone recently, to whom I had given a floral arrangement, in the past. She was really happy to share an amazing testimony. She explained that, she was very self-centered and giving her flowers made her think again about caring about others. The end result was, she started her own ministry of caring.
Have a good weekend!
