God sometimes provides in funny ways.

The post Henry Ford appeared first on Key Life.

Steve Brown: One time Henry Ford was in Ireland, saw an orphanage, and was so impressed that he wrote a check to them for 2,000 pounds. The papers got it and said by mistake that he gave 20,000 pounds.

The head of the orphanage apologized and said that he would correct it the next day. Ford said, "Don't do that." Ford wrote out a check for another 18,000 pounds, but with a provision.

They put a plaque on the door of the new building, and it should read, "I was a stranger and he took me in." No, he didn't. It was God providing. He does that in funny ways sometimes.
