Tomatoes From Heaven
Two days ago we picked 40 lbs of tomatoes....up off the side of the road!
Yes, the Lord provides in many ways. Lori and I were praying that morning that God would give us wisdom in adjusting to the new living costs in the US. We were also recently talking about making chili in the winter and how we used to grow tomatoes in our garden before we went to Mexico. Lori commented something to the effect of, "Buying all those tomatoes is going to kill us."
That afternoon as we were driving to Kendra and Tara's open house at their new school we saw a bunch of tomatoes along the side of the road not too far from our house! A truck must have lost some of its cargo going around the curve. We wondered if they would still be thre when we got back from the open house, and to our delight they were! Bryan and Kendra went and picked up three big bags full of tomatoes! What an opportunity to teach the kids about God's provision for us! Bryan had Kendra pray and thank God for this provision, and this was her prayer, "Dear Lord, thank you for all the tomatoes that you gave us, and thank you that some of them are ripe!" (Actually the majority of them were ripe) When we got home we washed them up, cut them, and froze them. Thank you Lord!
