An Unexpected Blessing
posted by on 09/2/10
One day the phone rang. It was Aunt Judy calling all the way from eastern Pennsylvania. She had found an art store that was going out of business there and giving away their extra matt board. Knowing that we were starting an art business, she wondered if we could take it. Of course we were happy to say yes and we arranged for a way for her to drop it off in our garage since she was soon to be coming our way.
A few days later, we returned from our own trip, opened the garage and . . . there it was. We were completely unprepared for what we saw: three large boxes full! As we sorted everything out, it covered our entire ping-pong table, inches deep, with various sizes and colors of matting. We are amazed and grateful. All we need now is a place to put it! We feel like the fishermen who found that their nets were just to small. I think we will be set for a few years, and in addition to that we have another testimony of God’s unexpected blessing. Thank you Aunt Judy for your thoughtfulness. The Lord used you in a mighty way.
Praise the Lord, our Provider!
Praise the Lord, I really think we’ll be able to use it – and the pieces we can’t use will be great for matt-cutting practice.
What a testimony of God’s provision!
I remember hearing about this story over the phone not too long ago! That’s a great testimony.
God has amazing ways to provide for His children!
