Dr. Grenfell told the story of an old fisherman in Labrador. He was 73, and through many a hard winter he had helped feed poor and hungry villagers.
One day he came to Dr. Grenfell with twelve dirty five dollar bills his entire savings. “Here,” he said, “take this and buy food for hungry people.”
“But,” protested Dr. Grenfell, “you are getting old, and may need this money for yourself!”
“Doctor,” the old man replied, “God will take care of me. I can trust Him for that.”
It was another hard winter and the $60.00 went a long way in feeding hungry fisher folk who lived along the rugged coast. And the Lord took care of the old fisherman, as He always does those who trust in Him.
“O fear the Lord, ye His saints: for there is no want to them that fear Him.
