By ERIC SMITH
Published: August 21, 2010

The detective was doing a follow-up investigation on a domestic disturbance and wanted to ask a few questions. Fine, no problem, I said — thinking of the big job we were in the middle of and how much I was depending on that carpenter. Read the full article here

 

Personal Stories

As we enter the Holiday Season, we are all reminded of how fortunate we are to serve God’s people in need, and to express gratitude for the blessings we continually receive.

We invite you to share some of your favorite stories and coincidences (God-incidences) by sending us an email we can post on our website’s “Inspiration” page.

One of my favorite God-incidences came via our ReStore. A man came into the ReStore, which is known for selling gently used and surplus building materials. He asked if we had any church doors. I asked, “What are church doors?” He replied, “You know, the really tall doors that people can walk through while carrying taller items.”

“Hmmm,” I said. “I don’t know that we get a lot of call for those. Let me find out if we have any.”

I asked our ReStore Manager if we had any ‘church doors’ and I was told that right at that moment our ReStore truck was out at Second Presbyterian Church–picking up church doors!

We have kept a journal of the many times we see needs are met before we even know we have them. We think you have stories like this too. Please send them to us at info@saginawhfh.org so we can post them. We can include your name, or keep it anonymous. Either way, we would like to hear from you.

Blessings to you and yours,

Cameron M. Brady
Development Manager
