Should I feel bad being excited about this?

So... sometimes God takes things that are not-so-awesome and uses them as something awesome for someone else.

I think of Jeremy's cousin Scott and his wife Amanda who lost their precious little daughter two weeks ago and decided to donate her organs to other babies in need. Eight month old Eden was waiting for new lungs herself when God welcomed her home. Scott and Amanda took their not-so-awesome situation and turned it into a glorious day for many other parents. May they be richly rewarded for that decision.

Well, MainStreet is on the 'awesome' receiving end of one of these types of things. A few weeks ago, another Covenant church plant decided to close shop after their planting pastor stepped down. This church has been around for almost 4 years. That it's closing is not so awesome. But.

Working like the kingdom does, Jeremy got an email that MainStreet gets first dibs at their equipment... sound stuff, kids stuff, hospitality stuff... and we don't have to pay for it. Jer and I are headed over to pick up some of this stuff in about an hour. I have no idea what's included, and I'm sad for the church that closed.

But oh man am I excited about this unexpected blessing.
