Over time we were able to meet this man who lived in this junkyard (See the other stories on the Blog) The story is posted below.....
This is a brief story about a guy named Bernard, and how God has recently poured out some wonderful blessings on him. We have known Bernard for few years now, and know him to be a hard working guy. Although he was homeless he was not afraid of hard work. He would work all day for whatever wage he was given for the day, and return to some meager place to lay his head. I often thought of how hard it must be to work and sweat all day and not be able to take a shower at the end of it all, before bedding down in a camper or even a car in the junk yard. In addition to being homeless he also had to depend on others to get him to his work for the day, and then back "home" again. I wonder how many times he was left to fend for himself after a hard and honest days work. Over the years Bernard has had some faithful friends to assist him with many of his needs, including a scooter that he had for a brief time that was "stolen" from him. Very recently we were moved to replace his scooter and the Lord provided the means for that to happen. We were very excited when this came together. In fact, we shopped out what we thought would be a really good scooter and carefully put it together when it arrived. This one has keyless start, and more importantly a SECURITY SYSTEM. We wanted it to be just right. After the Lord gave us great favor to get his paper work in order, and the scooter running just right, it was time to share the joy with Bernard that we were already feeling. When we took the scooter to him he was blown away. When we told him that it was for him, he exclaimed "NO!" in amazement. He no longer had to depend on anyone else to get him back and forth to work. Just afterwards we learned that another brother in Christ was going to let Bernard stay in his vacant rental house that he was working on. He was no longer "homeless". Oh, and I forgot to mention the best part of all--Bernard gave his heart to the Lord!
So here is the update....Benard is living in a house on Hyw 15, He has 2 full time jobs and one part time job..He is doing well..He attends our church and is very involved in our sunday school program for men. He is doing well....
Once he was living in a car in the junk yard, now God has blessed him greatly. You never know how God will use you...Benard just needed a little lift up....and salvation came to his house that day. Now his life is so much better....
How will God use you??? Will you be intune to Gods will? Who around you. who will need a lift up? LOOK FOR IT........
