First we pile all 8 kids into the church van along with us, then make the drive into town and head to the bank. Oh no! It closed before 3:30pm, what do we do now? Try the ATM, it always works in the US. Well, Toto, this isn't the US and the ATM had no money in it. Well since we can't bring all the children with us again another day we went to the shoe store and had them all try on shoes until they found a pair that fit. After putting 16 shoes on lay-a-way and looking at 8 sad faces, we came up with a brilliant idea to make everyone feel better, Icecream! That always makes everyone happy!
The next day we went back to town alone, paid for the shoes and had fun handing them out to the children.
Just a small amount given to our Orphan Fund can make a big difference, would you consider donating the cost of a coffee today?
What a great story! I love that God provides and gives us a sense of humor to get us through the unexpcted.
