Blessing Received

As most of you know, we have been waiting for the day David was to be laid off... looks like this is the week. He will be applying for unemployment but we are so worried, that it will not be enough to cover the health insurance and the groceries. Thankfully we have a cabinet and freezer full but there are some things you just cant stock up on.  We have been praying and trying to not panic. We have faith that it will all work out somehow, but its still scary. 

Have you ever wondered if God really listens and hears prayers? I do and yet I know he does. Putting all your faith in Him is a hard thing to do sometimes even when you know in your heart that He has your back and He will make a way. Then there are times that if YOU are paying attention and if YOU are listening to God, He will show YOU signs that He hears your prayers that He has YOU covered!! He did just that for us!!

David had gone to pick a few groceries yesterday. While in line to pay for them, an elderly lady told him to put his money away that SHE was paying for the groceries. He kindly told her that it was ok he could pay for them. She looked at him and said, "If you don't let me pay, then you are taking away MY blessing." What could he say to that? Who was he to deny her that? He hugged and thanked her three times before leaving.

When he got home and told me his story, I knew immediately God was letting us know He was in control of this situation and that it was going to be ok. I also knew that God was working on David too. It is often times when your back is to the wall that God does his best work.  I also know that sweet dear kind lady received her blessing and she has her own story to tell others.

Some may say that I have this incident all wrong. That it was not an answer or sign. That it was just a little lady being nice. To those who doubt what I say, I say to you ... Then you don't know MY God! Would you like to meet him?
