Did you ever read the story about Jesus feeding five thousand? I believe that many people in Atlanta did. In Matthew 14: 13-21, Jesus performed a miracle as He used five loaves and a couple of fish to feed thousands.
Our area just experienced a severe winter storm-leaving many drivers stranded. Stories are coming in now about how people walked miles out to the cars and delivered food and water. Some offered their stores, churches and even homes as a shelter.
I bet there were few millionaires among our heroes. As a matter of fact, whole thing happened near the end of the month. For hourly employees, payday wasn't until Friday (and this week's check might be low). For everyone, January is usually marked by cutting back after a generous Christmas. I bet that most of the people who reached out were just ordinary folks, trying to get by. Somehow, though, they gave their best.
As we thank God for our safety and comfort, let us lift our prayers for those who served so selflessly. May God meet their needs. And may He lead us to help them.
