April Fools!!!! Jokes on me!

Well today I stopped by a Bible bookstore to check on a book.  While I was there I simply mentioned a ministry that I'm involved with a couple times a year.  I told the associate about this ministry and that I was just wondering if they had an inexpensive, pocket sized New Testament.  After answering a few questions from the associate he walked over to talk to his manager.  Considering the ministry's budget is what ever I can scrape up I wanted to see what he could offer......Well he came back and asked if a full Bible that was compact yet not pocket sized would be okay for free.......Did you pick up on that last word?  FREE!!!!  I considered the price tag and exactly the amount of cash I had in my pocket, and decided his (or His) offer was better than what I asked for. 
The gesture was clearly also a message of "Yes, this should be added to this ministry".  I left there after a while with 46 very nice NKJV Bibles in tow. 

I got to witness some other ways that God blesses us today but I can't really talk about those.  The Bibles I can talk about freely.  I've learned that when you get involved with a ministry, and God is pleased, you get much more than you ask for.  Last time we went out on this "mission" God provided and abundance of Bojangles Biscuits and Coffee for the ministry.  We had a very modest budget but God put it on a  young mans heart to provide as much as he could for us.  Now while just inquiring about some cheap New Testaments, He provided a way to give more.

God is Good y'all!!!!

I hope you had a God moment today too!
