“Anyone who has two shirts should share with the one who has none, and anyone who has food should do the same.” - Luke 3:11
Pabama: (Rhymes with Alabama) Def: A feeling that there is more. A desire to make a difference, to be the hands and feet of Jesus. Not willing to accept the current state of the world, and not wishing to point any fingers. The burning desire to improve, to fall and fail, to be picked up and try again. To prepare ourselves for eternity. To stand triumphant one day, only through Jesus, and hear, "Well done, my good and faithful servant."

Turkeys - Part 2

We've moved from a cartoon turkey in part 1 to well...another kind of turkey pictured here....:)

Well, God shown His power again this past Saturday to lead the PABAMA families to other families in need!  An absolute awesome time at church enjoying the famous "Pancakes by Dyk Sabatino" and meeting the wonderful families of the group.  How great to see the spouses and kids! Thanks to the organizers for that!

God delivers again:
We took to the streets of Muskegon to deliver meals that were so graciously prepared by so many people. Thanks to all who did so much in donating $, making the purchases, making cards, making bread and pies!  God has used you all in awesome ways!

A total of 12 fully-stocked banana boxes were loaded with all the fixins and delivered to families that we pray felt like they were directly touched by the hand of God, perhaps for the very first time!

And then we lent our hands in a different way....in raking and picking up leaves (and other stuff) for a woman whom we never met but whom God has always known.  We swooped in with our kids in tow to transform a yard in a matter of minutes.  A blessed time!

There were some pictures taken of this event and they will be shared shortly.....

Wow, that's a turkey! Just one correction - The pancakes were ALL Sabatino.

A BIG thanks to everyone for helping with this, from getting names, to coffee, pancakes, to Pabama cards, to cleanup/closeup. The Spirit was involved, and we may never know what the Spirit did for those 18 families, but I can guarantee you that it was something!

To GOD be the Glory!

Story- One of the boxes that we dropped sat in front of the door and no one opened it... We waited, knocked again and waited some more. After we left my son said what will happen if they don't get it? What if someone else takes it?? We decided that we needed to put it in Gods hands. We prayed that God would do something good with it. We prayed that even if someone else takes the food that a seed would be planted in them through the cards and verses. What a great lesson for our kids! Thank you GOD!!

I am speechless. I feel like people are laughing at me!

But then again, I don't care. After all, "Takes one to know one!" still applies here.

I agree, Saturday was definitely a God thing. To HIM be the glory!
