Michael saves the day........................ again

[Amishway Homesteaders]

to start with there is the flu going around our Amish Friends again.

Some Amish Friends have low water i wells or none form so little rain this summer and fall.

Some homes are out on counrty roads with nobody living near by.

Micheal was alone in van going from 1 Amish Family to another delievering messages while Lori was visiting and helping at 1 Amish Friends place.

OK now that you have some backround...........................

This story will remind you of old poineer days out west!

 

This morning I was driving back to get Lori and took a side road on a back road to get there and when I was passing an Amish Friends house I heard someone calling my name?

As I looked over to the porch (set back from the road) I saw Mary waving her arms for me to stop.

As I pulled up she called out-

"Everyone here is sick but me and we ran out of water and have no more Kerosene to cook with!"

She said she had cans to put it in but can’t leave as Husband is too sick to even get out of bed and the two little ones are in bed as well.

I told her to go back inside and I would get the kerosene can and some buckets for water and go get some for her. After I left I passed her Father in his buggy going over to another farm to get a load of wood and asked if I could go the their farm for stuff instead of going all the way into town for the Kerosene?

YES!

So I went and get it (and also told her Mother what was up)and then picked up Lori and we headed back in just a few minutes.

Now-

IF I had not gone that way?

Or had not stopped to talk (to long) to an Amish Friend?

Or who know what else? I could not have been right there at the right time to help.

 

That seems to happen a lot with us…………………… and we are glad for it!

 

Praise God

God's timing was directing you, for sure! Isn't it fun to be used by Him? Aren't we all grateful when He uses someone to answer when we're waving to get help?

What a wonderful story! All things happen for a reason and these events were certainly no accident!

Stopped by the next morning to check in on them (and bring more supplies) and all are doing better but resting at home for the next few days. Also got word to her sister so she can come over to help with cooking and laundry etc. Funny part is Mary is the one with Lyme disease problems and she was just feeling better the start of the week, she get tired a lot and needs to rest but was trying to do it all by herself.
