Deer Fellowship

One of the greatest joys in the Christian life is to spend time with other believers. This past Saturday we were able to spend an entire day working alongside some families the Lord has allowed us to join with in starting a church in the Floresville area. What was the occasion you ask? The best way to answer that question is by saying, "An answer to prayer". You see, the cooks at the Huber household have been praying diligently for a source of meat, and God delivered in a way far above our expectations.

The "unusual" fellowship time on Saturday actually began on Friday when Nathan, Brandon, Anthony, and Jonathan worked with Rocky Roberts and his son Riley in skinning and quartering up 16 deer. Rocky is the manager of the Arrow S Ranch. I wasn't able to get in on the "fun" because I was playing electrician in the house next door. After a successful day (except for no pictures) we went home and rested up for the busy day to follow.

Saturday was filled with deboning, grinding, packaging, and labeling the meat from the 16 deer and 10 hogs. Praise the Lord for friends who know what they are doing and for antique grinders that just keep on going. We, along with the Roberts, Schmidts, and Caseys were able to complete the project, as well as clean-up, by 8:30 P.M. What a delight to see everybody chipping in to put the finishing touches on an incredible answer to prayer.

Thanks so much to Rocky and Tonya for heading up this remarkable day. We learned lots and now the freezers are full. If you're traveling through Texas, stop by for some delicious backstrap, tenderloins, roast, and burgers. We'll invite others over and enjoy great fellowship as we feast on God's goodness. Praise the Lord for an unforgetable day!!
