The Tablecloth (True Story)<\/span><\/p>\n

A pastor and his wife, who were starting their ministry in a suburb of Brooklyn, New York City, received a mandate from their denomination to reopen a closed church.\u00a0 <\/span>They arrived in October with excited hearts. The church building had been unused for a long time and was very old, requiring many repairs. The pastor and his wife decided to hold their first service on Christmas Eve and worked diligently, cleaning the pulpit, painting, and plastering the walls.\u00a0 <\/span>They finished all the work earlier than planned, on December 18th. <\/span><\/p>\n

However, the very next day, a terrible blizzard and strong winds raged for two days. When the pastor visited the church on the 21st, he was at a loss for what to do when he saw the leaking roof and, especially, a section of the wall behind the pulpit, about 2 meters wide and 6 meters high, had collapsed. As he cleaned the floor and walls, he wondered if he should postpone the service.<\/span><\/p>\n

On his way home, the pastor saw a charity bazaar on the roadside and decided to stop by. There, he discovered a very beautiful, elegant tablecloth with a cross embroidered in the center on a light ivory background.\u00a0 <\/span>He immediately thought, “Ah! I can use this to cover the collapsed wall behind the pulpit!” <\/span><\/p>\n

He bought it and hurried back to the church.\u00a0 <\/span>It had started snowing again, and at the bus stop in front of the church, he saw an elderly woman who had missed her bus and looked distressed.\u00a0 <\/span>Since she would have to wait 45 minutes for the next bus and it was very cold outside, the pastor invited her to wait inside the church.<\/span><\/p>\n

The pastor used a ladder and a hammer to cover the collapsed wall with the tablecloth.\u00a0 <\/span>To his surprise, the tablecloth fit perfectly, and the embroidered cross made it blend perfectly with the church’s atmosphere. Then, an elderly woman sitting in the back row walked forward and asked, “Pastor, where did you get that?” The pastor replied, “I bought it at a charity bazaar.” She then asked, “Does it happen to have the letters EBG embroidered on the end?” <\/span><\/p>\n

The pastor found the letters, which were the initials of the woman’s name, and realized that the tablecloth was something she had made herself in Austria 35 years earlier. The woman had lived a very wealthy life in Austria before being imprisoned by the Nazis, after which she lost contact with her husband and was now living in the United States. <\/span><\/p>\n

Upon learning this, the pastor tried to return the tablecloth, but the woman adamantly refused.\u00a0 <\/span>So, the pastor felt it was his duty to at least drive her home, which was quite far from the church.\u00a0 <\/span>During the drive, he learned that she had only come to Brooklyn that day to work as a cleaning lady.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Christmas Eve service was a wonderful blessing from God. The church was almost full, and everything\u2014the singing, the prayers, the sermon\u2014was overflowing with grace. After the service, the pastor and his wife said goodbye to the parishioners, all of whom said they would attend the church regularly. However, an elderly man who lived nearby was still sitting in his seat, staring intently at the pulpit. He asked, “Pastor, where did you get that tablecloth? It looks exactly like one my wife made a long time ago.” The pastor learned that the man had also lived in Austria and had been separated from his wife 35 years earlier when he was imprisoned by the Nazis. <\/span><\/p>\n

The pastor said, “Sir, would you like to go for a short drive with us?” and headed towards the house where he had taken the elderly woman a few days earlier. The pastor and his wife helped the grandfather up to the third-floor apartment and knocked on the door. There, the pastor and his wife witnessed an unimaginable Christmas family reunion, the best of their lives.<\/span><\/p>\n

“God works in mysterious ways. His love is always with us, His promises are true, and He always guides and protects us. When you face difficulties in your life, pray to Him, and He will take care of the rest.”<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
