Recently I read an encouraging Word from Nate Johnston. In it he mentioned, “So set the table by faith.” I kept thinking about it, and pondering what the Lord might be saying. The next day, our whole family trooped into Costco. I saw a big pack of popsicles, and snatched them up right away. I knew it was God’s idea for us to keep popsicles in the freezer so anytime we have kids in the backyard, we have a fun treat to offer.

Over the next couple of days, I also began to sense the Lord prompting me to buy supplies for S’mores. I even mentioned my intentions to Chuck and the kids. We were all excited about the idea! Again, I knew it was God’s leading for us to have S’more supplies on hand so we could whip up a fire at a moment’s notice when friends or neighbors stop by. It crossed my mind multiple times, but I hadn’t gotten to the store to purchase anything.

Then it happened. Tonight after dinner two middle school neighbor boys knocked on the back door, and asked Chuck if they could make a fire together and have S’mores. It blew us away! We were so thrilled these boys wanted to spend time with Chuck, but also thrilled because this is exactly what I had sensed from Holy Spirit! When the knock came, and the boys were asking for S’mores, we were *sordof* ready. 😉 We were at least prepared in our spirits.

Since we didn’t have the S’more supplies yet, Chuck and the girls walked to Walmart and got everything we needed. Later in the evening, the boys came back over to hang out, and eat a sweet treat, too. Wow! I’m just so overjoyed!

Now I want to hear YOUR stories. How are YOU setting the table by faith? Don’t be surprised who might come knocking at your door.
