God Provides

In yet another reminder of His loving care, God has provided for our need of ours before we even asked Him about it!

It has to do with the light fixture above our dining room table. For some inexplicable reason, the glass just started breaking, shattering, and dropping big pieces to the ground. (Not a great situation, especially with small children and Goldens running around.)

My next plan was just to remove it and have a bare bulb until our finances turned around a bit and we could afford a new light fixture, but then this weekend, friends from church (out of the blue) just gave us their old one:

I know it’s a small thing, but it really struck a chord in my heart and reminded me that my Heavenly Father knows my needs and delights in giving me, not rocks, but fish to eat.

Oh, and once again, Fred persevered in leading us through (another!) hard conversation. (This little stretch of distance and sorrow and “un-connectedness” in our marriage has been the longest we have ever experienced and we were both growing quite discouraged and sad about it.) It was so hard! But God truly did provide and even last night, Fred and I began to (by faith) take baby steps to reach out to each other again.

I am heading to bed slightly more hopeful and I have a renewed sense of the goodness of God. Now THAT truly is grace.

Good night and God bless!

Yours,
Tara B.
