1 chicken = a miracle!

[Sister Alvear]

Today 18 people were at my house for lunch...after funding our regional convention, bringing some in from other areas and all the expenses we were just about out of everything...

My daughter in law whispered to me that there were 18 to feed...I said well let's cook the chicken and cut it in tiny pieces...she looked at me and said, Mom one chicken will not be enough.

I can buy on the credit at the little village store close to my house so I sent my daughter in law's mother there to see if they had anything but they had already sold the ones they had...

We prayed and cooked the chicken and made a pot of rice...I don't know how everyone got a piece of chicken (well, I didn't but it was by choice)...

Everyone ate...no one seemed to notice the lack...

A church member had sent some oranges so we had fresh orange juice. A wonderful meal provided by God...

I was thinking...sometimes we forget to praise Him for the small things because we feel uneasy to talk about our personal needs...

However, I am grateful HE made a tiny chicken that someone had given me...feed 18 hungry people....

God is so good...for 43 years He has always supplied!
