Monday, February 17th - One Toothed Part 2

2/18/2025

     It’s amazing how the Lord can take something small and turn it into much more.
     Jesus did that with a young lad’s lunch to feed a multitude.
     My last blog was about a one-toothed woman at Burger King.  I stopped by there four more times, hoping to give her more than the $1.00 that started this thing, but to no avail.
     On the fifth time success.  Well, kind of.  When I got there about lunchtime, there she was. 
     But there was a problem.  There were two workers about the same age, the same body size, and the same hair color.  I wasn’t sure which lady she was.
     I mean, it wasn’t like I could ask both of them, “Would you ladies smile for me?”
     I have come to believe that the Lord had more plans to use a dollar and a one-toothed lady to do more than I thought at the time.  And more than I imagined when I wrote the last blog, sharing what I intend to do over the next few weeks.
     I had lunch today with my sister, Jan, who was in Cynthiana because she couldn’t get home to Hindman due to the weather.
     Jan shared with me a story that moved my heart.
     There’s a family that Jan knew who had a family member who had an illness that required them to travel a long distance for treatment.  This family couldn’t afford to stay in the city where the treatment was, though it would have been far better for the patient.  So, this family traveled back and forth.
     Jan shared with me about another person who heard their story and had read the last blog.  This person was moved to give enough money for this family to stay at least a couple of days.
     Jan then shared about another family that was considering matching the gift. 
     Before lunch was over it looked like one dollar to a one-toothed lady had turned into possibly several hundred-fold, enabling this family to stay about a week if they need to do so. 
     I should never doubt the power of our Lord.  Nor should I doubt doing what the Holy Spirit nudges me to do.
     I am looking forward to seeing what the Lord still has up His sleeve to use a one-dollar bill and a one-toothed lady.  I will let you know as I know.
 
     On a second note.  My Beaver squirrels’ prediction of a bad winter has been fully verified.  We are enduring the worst winter in Kentucky in several years.  We are facing more snow and dangerously cold weather this week.
     How remarkable is God’s creation.
      If only those squirrels could predict the stock market!
