God's Provisions

Dearest Lord,
In the 3rd week in June, someone that my boss did not know approached him in another building on campus and gave him an envelope that had just my name on it and asked him to deliver it for him. The envelope was   Inside was a piece of paper with PHIL 4:19 on it and enclosed was $200 in cash!  We needed it to pay the taxes we had forgotten about on our cars and for meds and groceries.

Lord, you have done it again!
This week on Tuesday July 23, 2013, there was an envelope on my desk with an encouraging verse from Colossians in it as well as a $25 gift card from Wal-Mart.  Lord, we really needed that at that moment.  Dick's check would come the next day, but we needed groceries.
 I had to take him to the doctor...another miracle.  He has been very ill for about 10 days.  He finally put a request in on the internet to the doctor's office Monday evening asking for an appointment.  Usually that can take about 2 weeks for him to get one.  They called on Tuesday morning at 7:30 am and told him to come at 2:40 THAT DAY!  If he didn't take that appointment, it would be September before he could be seen.  My bosses told me to take the time that afternoon and the next afternoon to take him for the appointment and the chest X-Ray the next day, without taking the time off my allotted sick or vacation time.  The antibiotic they put him on did not cost anything either...still amazed at that!
Friday July 26, 2013, there was another envelope delivered by someone our employee to whom it was given didn't know.  Inside was PHIL 4:19 and "God is with you and will take care of you" on the paper.  Inside was $160 in cash!

Oh Lord, You are our provider and an on time God.  Dick's car needs to be inspected and the tailpipe and muffler will need to be replaced before my car will pass inspection in August.
You have provided ample precious yard helpers this summer in the Summer RAs and a student from Liberty.  They not only help, they come to visit Dick and spend time with him because they want to! Our neighbor Alan mowed our lawn yesterday because our mower is broken, and Brien Sabella came to do branch clean-up and weed-eating!
How great the Father's love for us!
How blessed beyond all measure!
That He would give His only Son,
To make this wretch His treasure!
Lord, as long as I live, I will never understand why You love us...but am ever so thankful and blessed that You do!
