Thankful

11-17-06 This morning Silvana was on the computer and she had the TV on, when she heard a man saying that his church was giving out free turkeys to anyone who knew someone in need or who might need one themselves. With the wonderful invention of the DVR, she rewound it and listened. It was the Holy Spirit causing her to hear this messagae. A Pastor of a church in Albuquerque was talking about a Thanksgiving turkey give away. He said they are giving away between 2,000 and 4,000 turkeys and said "If you or anyone you know needs one, call us.", and gave their number. Silvana told us about it and said to call the Pastor and offer him pictures of Jesus to give out with every turkey (as well as some DVDs of The Passion of the Christ) and offer our help in any way he needs. We called and left a message for him and were told he would call back later. In the meantime we prayed for him that he would want to give out the pictures.

When we talked later to the Pastor we told him what a good thing they are doing, and that we would like to offer these free pictures of Jesus for them to give as well. When he heard the pictures were from the Shroud, he said, "I've seen the Shroud of Turin.", and said yes he wants the pictures to give to the peopl. When we told him about the DVDs we have of The Passion of the Christ, he said, "That is a powerful movie." and he said yes he wants to give them out. We have been rejoicing all day at what Jesus is doing. We are thankful for this opportunity to lift up Jesus to anyone as He leads because we know that fruit will come.
