Mr. He Li
was very old and very poor, but a Christian. His cousin, a priest, would
bring bread or meal, and Mr. Li would say, "My Heavenly Father's
grace." This angered the priest, who said, "If I didn't bring you
the food, you would starve, for all He would care." "But He puts it
into your heart to help me." "Very well, I'll stay away and then
we'll see what happens." After many days Mr. Li had not a single crumb,
but while he was praying there was a strange cawing and flapping in the yard.
Some crows were fighting and dropped a piece of pork and a loaf of bread.
While the meat was boiling, the priest walked in, saying, "Has the
Heavenly Father you talk so much about sent you food?" When he saw the
meat he exclaimed, "Where in the world did you get that?" "My
Heavenly Father sent it." Then the priest wanted to know more about Him,
was converted, became a preacher, and died a martyr in the Boxer war. --
