POTATO PROVISION

I remember just a few years ago when we lived in Poland as missionaries. We were struggling so much financially. The dollar had plunged in value and we lost about 1/3 of the value of our money and were wondering if we would have to return back to the States. So we were praying for God’s provision.

A small example of how God began to answer that took place just a few days later. In Poland during the potato harvest in the fall, they deliver huge bags of potatoes to homes as a staple food for the winter. One day, one of the trucks lost a bag and it spilled out over the gravel road next to our house. We weren’t starving, but some of those potatoes provided for our evening meal thanks to the Lord’s provision.
