Thank you, God!

God is so good to us, always going a step ahead of us & making a way for us.  :)

On Sunday, someone walked up to Savannah & handed her a card.  The person told her to give it to her dad (Larry).  She agreed & that was that.  During church, she handed it to Larry.  He opened it & found an anonymous card with money in it.  I was working in the nursery so I didn't find about it until we were eating lunch after church.  We were both wow'd & excited about someone doing that for us.  Since this has happened to us a few times over the years, we know now to hold onto the money & wait to see what is going to happen soon after.  It seems like every time God mysteriously gives us a blessing like that, we have some disaster a few days later & realize THAT is why God provided us a blessing.

Anyway, today Larry took my van in b/c the maintenance light came on a while back & I was afraid it "meant something".  I wanted him to go have it checked just to make sure it was nothing & to get the light turned off.  He took it to Fairway today & got it checked out.  Apparently the light was just a reminder to change the oil, which he had done a couple weeks ago, but we didn't know how to turn off the reminder light so it was just on.  They shut if off for us.  While they had the van up on the lift thing, they noticed something else, though.  One of the tires' tread had completely separated & would've caused a "catastrophic blow out" (their words).  We had to replace the tire.  Without that mystery God-money, we would've racked up a little more debt today....but because we had it, we could afford to replace the tire!!!

WooHoo!  Ain't God good?
