THE KINDNESS OF GOD

Miriam's wallet full of important documents.

Pastor Gerardo and Miriam had another experience last week that neither one can explain.  Several times the family has testified that the Lord has helped them supernaturally in times of greatest need.  These experiences are very encouraging and they give us hope and they strengthen our faith.

Friday was a busy day.  There were errands to run and kids to pick up from school.  Miriam was delivering her special empanadas to a local grocery store where they are sold on commission.  There was a tight time schedule to keep.

While still in their car in front of the grocery store, Miriam put her change in her wallet and laid it on her lap so she could answer her cell phone.  Later, after three more stops she reached for her wallet to find it missing.  Maybe it had fallen out of the car some time at one of their stops, and it was probably laying out on the street.

Beginning to panic, they retraced their route of the day, going back to each location and getting out to search all around where they had parked.  But there was no wallet.  They searched inside the car, under the seats and behind them.  There was no wallet.

There wasn’t much money in the wallet, but there were many documents and identification cards and there was important school information.  Losing the wallet would be very difficult for them, as such documents are not easy to obtain in Mexico. They stopped to pray together and asked the Lord to help them find the wallet, expecting Him to direct them back to the place where it was lost.  Finally they drove back to their house, not knowing what else to do.

Gerardo unlocked the door of the house and went in to turn the lights on.  There in plain sight on top of his desk was Miriam’s wallet!

"For his merciful kindness is great toward us: and the truth of the Lord endureth forever. Praise ye the Lord."  Psalm 117:2
