Some Amazing True Stories

Tonight we had a games night at Sharlene's parent's house. Sharlene's aunt and boyfriend came over as well. During the course of the night, Sharlene's mum brought out a set of mugs with cats printed on the side. These were mugs that had been purchased at our local ADRA shop. Well, Shar's aunt recognised the mugs as her own that she had received from her deceased sister a few years ago (also Sharlene's dad's sister). Sharlene's dad had gotten them for the purpose of giving them to Sharlene's mum's sister, who loves cats.
What a wonderful way to reunite the siblings with a piece of family heritage.

Another awesome story is one from a couple of years ago. Shortly after Fiji had some large flooding. A call went out for donations of sheets, clothes and other items. Sharlene's mum reluctantly gave away a particular table cloth that was part of her glory box when she got married. Later, Sharlene's parents went to Fiji for a fly and build. At the village where they worked, there was a shelter where they had lunch. There, Sharlene's mum noticed the table cloth. After asking where it came from, one of the people serving them said that she bought it from the ADRA shop on the Fiji mainland. What a wonderful blessing of God to know where something so special ended up and to know it was in safe hands.

One last story. Sharlene's aunt (the same one as above) took another set of mugs to the ADRA shop. They were designed to look like a pig. Later, her mother went to the ADRA shop and bought one of the mugs and gave it to her daughter. So, in that way, Sharlene's aunt got her mug back through her own mum.

Just a few stories that I thought quite amazing.
