Psalm 84 is one of my favorite Psalms because more than once, it has been an inspiration in my life.
I have seen God providing many a time a literal home for my parents, my brothers, my wife and I, and for our friends.
God also sets the solitary in families -that’s the way we became a long term foster family for special need children.
But God’s provision goes beyond providing homes for human beings, as this Psalm states so well.
He even found a place for two dogs and some cats.
The way they came to stay with us is a beautiful story too.
But what has this to do with the topic of this week: “Sunday School?”
In Psalm 132:4 and 5, David says: “I will not give sleep to my eyes or slumber to my eyelids, until I find a place for the LORD, a dwelling place for the mighty One of Jacob.” (NKJV)
David found the right place, didn’t he?
Our church in Amsterdam (Holland) was desperately in need for more classrooms for the Sunday school children age 3-13, and in the direct neighborhood nothing was available for rent.
At least, that’s what we all thought.
I felt the challenge to go and find the proper place.
The words, “until I find a place”, spoke to my heart and I decided to set a day apart to walk through the neighborhood of our church and not go home without finding a suitable place.
So one morning I began the search, and walked street in, street out.
After a few hours I found the right place, just 10 minutes walking distance from our church, in a daycare center and after school facility.
On Sundays they were closed and willing to rent the facility to us on Sunday mornings. Praise the Lord.
We rented this place for a few years and then the Lord opened the doors to a nice location just a few meters away from our church.
Seek and you will find.
God is good, always!

There are a few problems with paragraphing. Within a paragraph, you don't need to start each sentence on a separate line; you can just continue on the same line. Then space, as usual, between paragraphs.
This is an inspiring testimony!
