Wednesday Thoughts

The middle of a new week and once again, God is showing me how faithful He is. When moving here, I didn’t know anyone and yet, God in His infinite love and wisdom knew exactly what to give me; friends. Last week, a lady who I had never met, only through Face Book, being told to contact her through another friend, and I had lunch. What a precious Christian lady who I knew immediately, she was God’s gift to me. The conversation just flowed. We had so much in common, even our husbands share the same name, Randy. We laughed and talked for 3 hours. We talked about our kids and grandkids, our husbands, our faith, our friends and both of us felt like we had known each other for years. It really touched my heart to know that God was looking down and had blessed my life with such a sweet lady who I can laugh with, pray with and explore this new area. She assured me that even though she doesn’t cook a lot, she loves to eat, so I told her that would be perfect. I can bake and she and her husband can be the recipients of what I bake. So now I’m off to another new adventure with Shirley, who we met in Sunday School. She is from Louisiana and has been here a year. We keep being amazed at the gifts that God is bestowing on us, and yet, why do we continue to be surprised. He tells us that He is faithful to give us what we need, if we will only trust Him. Sometimes, isn’t it easier to trust Him in big things, but a little harder to give him the everyday “needs”? This should be a reminder to myself that He cares for me and for you, no matter the need, big or small. He is a most wonderful and awesome God!
