A friend gave me a big bag of yarn for my birthday. I haven't bought yarn for some time because my yarn stash is overflowing from blessings like this. I wasted no time in choosing a pretty green from the recent acquisition to make a set of potholders for her in thanks.
God has been so faithful in providing for the little needs and wants in my life. I don't even have to ask sometimes; I just have a thought and He drops it in my lap. I needed a vacuum for my place at camp. I wanted one just like my parents have, but since theirs was a wedding gift from thirty years ago, I didn't hold out much hope of getting my hands on one. Just a few weeks later, we brought home the belongings of my grandpa's estate, among which was an extra vacuum - the same brand and era as my parents'. God is specific!
This spring my work jeans were wearing thin. The week I planned to go buy a few more pairs, a friend of the camp found a bargain on ladies carhartt work pants and delivered them to the staff. Was there a size that fit me? Of course.
I could go on. Perhaps then it's fitting that the geometric design of these hotpads formed a cross in the middle. If God cares enough to save us, He certainly cares enough to take care of us and bless us.
Philippians 4:19 "And my God will meet all your needs according to His glorious riches in Christ Jesus."
