As old as I am, and as much as God has done for me personally, I don't believe I'll ever get over His goodness! He is awesome!!
Out of the "blue", our daughter decided to sell her car. After talking it over and praying, my husband and I made the decision to buy it from her. We only signed the papers on it this past Friday!
Elizabeth and I prayed that the Lord would send someone who needed a car that we could just give my little Saturn to (affectionately referred to as the "little red tube of lipstick on wheels"). We were thinking about a first car for a teenager...little did we suspect who He wanted to have it.
My sister phoned me just last night (Monday) wanting to talk to my husband about who he might recommend to work on her car. It seems she just had a wreck this week and her car was totaled and could not be driven...it would not even start! Well, after talking to her, he called me and asked how I felt about giving her the Saturn. Hmm, not exactly whom I thought would be the answer to our prayer, but our Father knows best! His timing never ceases to amaze me!!
She phoned me just a while ago, unable to speak because of crying so hard. Her only income is disability, her health isn't great, her children live out of town. She was overcome with gratitude! Good!!
Now she knows how I have felt...when I was a single parent without much money, trying to raise a beautiful little girl by myself. My sister would go above and beyond to help us and there was no way for me to pay her back! Now, after all those many years, our Father has graciously allowed me to give to her!
GOD IS INCREDIBLE!!!
None of this is said to pat myself or my husband on the backs; we are not anything much - not overly generous people! It is just to once more bow down, give Him thanks and worship our magnificent God Who loves to take care of His children...always in His time!!
Do you know Him?
