In the mid-1980s my family moved to northern Saskatchewan to start a church. As a church planter, part of my support was funded by the local mission. Most months were financially difficult.<\/p>\n
One week in April, when the ground was still frozen and snow covered, we were down to a few dollars in the bank. Our usual reaction was to look for our own solution. This time, however, in a stroke of faith, I went before God and told him that we needed eggs, bread, and milk. I would wait on him.<\/p>\n
That afternoon a man came to my little fix-it shop with a leaky teakettle. He said, \u201cI know I could get another, but it\u2019s my favorite kettle. Please fix it.\u201d In minutes the job was done, and I didn\u2019t even charge him for it. But he pulled out a $10 bill and insisted that I take it. It was enough to buy a gallon of milk, a dozen eggs, and a loaf of bread.<\/p>\n
As he left, with a bit of pride in my faith decision, I thanked God, to which he replied, \u201cDon\u2019t you wish you had asked for half a beef?\u201d<\/p>\n
