Send pizza!

Reaching Higher (A Mother’s true story) “Did I hear that—send pizza!” Those thoughts can’t be from God. Surely I am just thinking this stuff because Pastor talked about our missionaries in Church last Sunday. The next few days, the thoughts kept nagging my soul. “OK, God. I’ll do it. But the missionaries will think I’m a few clowns short of a circus.” I sat at the kitchen table and wrote a check. I added “for pizza” on the memo line, then mailed it. Some weeks later, I received a note from the missionary family. She and her husband were thrilled to receive the check. The message ended with a heartfelt thank-you for being the instrument God chose to bless their family. God had answered the prayer of their small son. Every night at bedtime, he had petitioned Jesus for pizza! *** Praise God. The answer to the little boy's prayers blessed the missionary and his wife. It blessed their son with spiritual growth. It brought praise to the giver of the gift, God. Isn’t it wonderful how God works and grows us to spiritual fullness by pointing us back to Him? And what a reminder when God speaks, we are to listen and respond. We can be thankful God is faithful in every detail of our lives—including the desire for pizza.
