Shocking

It is amazing to think that we have been officially on the road to camp a month now. It seems like it has been longer than that. God has done so many things and we have seen so many wonderful people. Today was a very bizarre Sunday but through it all we were able to witness to some folks and see some miracles. This evening we had sold some out door furniture in preparing to move and decided to splurge on a meal just because. It was enjoyable to sit with Mylanie and Wendy and spend some quality family time. I was actually feeling guilty about the price of the meal ( IHOP) because we usually try to be a little thriftier. It is a restaurant we never go to and somehow wound up there. Every other place was closed or what not. I was thinking what a mistake this must have been. About that the middle of the meal a man approached our table and said your the Boone family. It was a ministry friend. He talked a minute and then said to be an encouragement to you I am going to buy your supper. Truly God orders our stops and steps. My daughter was astonished. Mylanie said "Shocking, everywhere there are people we know. " Then she told her Grandma on the phone later a really nice man gave us supper. I thought yes and a really great God caused him to do it and will bless him for it.
We were able to witness to the waiter a little bit... You never what when and where. Thank God for the nice man and all the others that help with those little encouragements.
This last week God has used others to provide a cell phone to replace the old broken one, several meals, a car to borrow in place of the broken one and lots of friends to encourage and cheer us on. As we approach thanksgiving, thanks seems so shallow as to all that God does for us. Evenn for having us stop at IHOP, thanks
