Lord who provides.

The last couple of days i have felt really tired.... not 100% sure why... and today i just woke up tired... but instead of staying in bed, on a day off... i got up and went down to ACH (Adelaide Congress Hall). They run a coffee and toast morning 5 days a week, which they get a number of people coming along to. Some come in just for breakfast, some hang out there while they are waiting for their ER appointment (to get an appointment, people have to be there at 9am to book in, or they miss out), and others use the place just to catch up with people. I went along today, just to chat with people. I was tired the whole way there, but once i got there and chatting with people, the tiredness disappeared. While there i got to catch up with some people that i haven't seen for a while, including one guy who used to come along to cell, but hasn't been for nearly a year. I was also privileged to meet and talk to 2 other people, and to hear their stories. One had lost his wife and son over the years, and also some of his health. The other person, had recovered from a stroke, she had to learn to talk and walk again... and in that whole process her husband left, and has custody of the kids.
While walking to one of the day centres, for lunch i bumped into 2 guys that i hadn't seen for ages, an got to touch base with them and find out how they have been.
By the time i got home... i was tired again... and fell asleep, for a little bit, before i had to go to work. I praise the Lord cause i know He gave me the energy to go out and chat with people, and also gave me the love i have for these guys. The Lord knew that i needed energy, and He provided it... along with opportunity to share with people and the words to do so. I praise Him for just an awesome day.
