God's Provision And Protection

A missionary was serving as a medic at a small field hospital in Africa.
Periodically he had to travel by bicycle through the jungle to a nearby 
city for supplies. It was a two day trip so he had to camp out overnight.
He had made this trip several times without incident. One day however, he

Well it was battered and scarred, and the auctioneer felt It was hardly worth his while, to waste much time on the old violin But he held it up with a smile..."It sure ain't much but it's all we got left, I guess we ought to sell it too...Now who'll start the bid on this old violin, just one more and we'll be through."

And then he cried, "One! Give me one dollar! Who'll make it two? Only two dollars! Who'll make it three? Three dollars twice! Now that's a goo...

Daily Encouragement For January 31, 2012:

A cheerful girl with bouncy curls, who was almost five years old, saw them as her mother was at the checkout stand, a strand of pearls in a pink foil box.

"Oh please, Mommy. Can I have them? Please, Mommy, please!" Quickly, the mother checked the back of the little foil box and read the price tag. "$1.95, she said. “That's almost $2. If you really want them, I'll think of some extra chores for you and in no time you can save enough money...
