Mom wanted me to let you know...

I just got off the phone with Mom and Dad and they wanted me to let you all know about a miracle that just happened to them. A few months ago, they were trying to get their food storage in order, so they called a man that owns a couple of wheat farms from the ward they are in and dad told him that he needed 700 lbs. of wheat and said that they would pay top dollar for it. Well, the man said, he would give the wheat to dad, that he was his friend and it would be an insult to him for dad to pay for it. So even though he could make alot of money off of that wheat in todays market, he gave it to mom and dad. Miracle #1.

This weekend, he was having it delivered to the house. Mom had bought cans, oxygen packs, lids and rented a can sealer. She was expecting to spend 8 to 10 hours canning wheat and was exhausted by the thought of it! Well, when the guy showed up to give them the wheat, it was already sealed with oxygen packs in giant buckets and ready to be stored. Dad helped bring in 800 lbs. of wheat, and he isn't hurting, which is huge because usually just carrying a gallon of milk sends his back into spasms. So they are feeling so blessed and grateful right now, and should the world fall into chaos, our family will have food. Love you!

Wow! What a blessing! How exciting. I was feeling so bad mom and Jim would be doing that today! What a blessing that it's already complete! And daddy was able to help!

I was worried to death about mom having to do all that canning with Jimmy... I am so grateful that things worked out so well. I love my sweet family :)

Wow, what a huge blessing. I can't even believe that that man is so kind. I hope and pray that the lord blesses him 10 times as much as he blessed Mom & Dad. I know Mommy would have done it, but it sure is great that she didn't have to, and Daddy, I don't know how that is even possible (it isn't, its a flat out miracle). Thank you, I needed to hear something uplifting today.
