About a month ago, after we had gotten renters and the financial burden started to lift, I had decided to praise the Lord with the "extra" he had blessed us with. I thought this had been understood by my husband. But when he looked at the bank statement and shouted "What have you done?" I realized we were not on the same page.I offered him my sincere appology, and being the wonderfully gracious husband that he is, he forgave me quickly. I asked the Lord to hear my heart of thanksgiving and also distress at failing my husband. I asked that if He was pleased with my offering, to please supply what my husband thought was lost! The next week my grandmother offered to pay for our reservation fees for the reunion, and our check was returned to us (Blessing #1). A letter came in the mail that said we had a rebate for a cell phone that we have never cashed. They were willing to reissue the check, if we notarized and returned the letter (Blessing #2). Today, Steve got the mail, and sorted through it while I was doing dishes. He asked for a butter knife, I handed it to him, and went back to my work. His voice changed to surprise, "What is this?" I looked up to see him pull 3 $100 bills out of the envelope(Blessing #3)! An envelope with our names typed on paper and folded to hold the money, then our return address! Post marked Bakersfield and Mojave. No note or anything! Simply God hearing and supplying.
I've heard of this type of thing happening, but it sure is an incredible feeling to know God loves you and that someone else was so obedient!
I love you Lord!
