Easter present from God

Easter present from God--as if rising from the dead and bringing us eternal life were not enough!

We had friends over on Sat.--2 families who struggle to make ends meet. In one of the families, 2 girls had to come to our house barefoot and 1 had on a pair of shoes that didn't fit, so she had her heels on top of the back of the shoes. We wanted to get them sandals, but we couldn't go downtown and stores were not open.

But on the way back from being at the church property (Richard had worship rehearsal & the kids played on the playground) there was a lady walking along with a tub of sandals on her head. Richard stopped the car and Margaret, who works for us, but was just with us for fun that day, got out to see what she could find. The lady had sandals to fit all 8 of the children! They were able to buy them all for 800 gourdes (100 gdes, about $2 each)!

I wish I had taken a picture of all those feet with all those sandals on them! We were all thanking God. And that woman was nice to sell them for that price, too. (I will add a picture later if I can.)
