“Many are the plans
in the mind of a man, but it is the purpose of the Lord that will
stand.” —Proverbs 19:21
Our most exciting adventures
always start with a plan, but rarely does the plan materialize as we
think.
The vision is now clear and
confirmed. The cost of transporting the “free” food from Pearland was
too great. We decided the wise thing to do was to take the $2000 it
would have cost for “free” fruit and purchase medical supplies. We are
taking 4 pulse oximeters, cases of pain relievers, 24 children’s
crutches, nebulizer, liquid for feeding tubes, and 1,400 doses of
antibiotic cream.
Thursday afternoon, Stephanie
and I will drive to Bradenton, Fl, where Sam’s Club will have everything
we have purchased palletized and load it into our 16 foot truck. We
will then drive to Venice, Fl, to meet the Agape flight.
You have purchased:
- A pallet
of Baby food – vegetables and fruit – 3600 cups
- 2
pallets of Baby Rice and Oatmeal cereal – 480 lbs
- Similac
27/27 – 756 lbs
- A pallet
of Cheerios – 216 large boxes
- Graham
crackers – 192 boxes
- Hand
Sanitizers
They have asked for crutches,
adult and children. We put out the call crutches and our faithful
Treasures’ Family answered the call. We are taking some with us, while
others are shipping theirs to the warehouse.
Please, pray for us two “old”
ladies, as we make the 2000 mile journey in 3 ½ days.
