I can afford that now.
God has showered blessings at my feet and I am humbled.
Worries that I had 10 years ago are gone.
But now new worries have replaced them.
To have and to have not are the same. Each requires trust in
God to guide the use of blessings, whether many or few.
But then, it’s all the same to God. When money ran out, God
was there blessing with a truck load of things I would have never thought of:
Someone bringing a meal to our house
Someone giving us gently used clothing
Shoes not wearing out
Coats we forgot we had
Appliances lasting years longer than the manufacturer intended
Used vehicles appearing as if out of no where
A gentle slowing down of need, imperceptible in the present but
obvious in the past
And, the best blessing of all, the distinction between want
and need revealed
God, thank You for Your supernatural blessings every single
day of our lives. Show us how to slow down and see them. Remind us to praise You
in the seeing.
