Loads of Blessing

May 4, 2006
God has blessed us again! Tonight, we received a huge load of firewood rounds, and a refrigerator! God answered before we even really asked. We were both concerned about how we were going to get enough firewood for this next winter, and also wondering how much longer our noisy refrigerator would last. But, we hadn't talked much about it. Well, God answered through people we don't even know! (They were clients of a friend who needed to get their house/garage emptied out before it sold tomorrow.) They also gave us several pressure-treated 2x4's and a big bag of potting soil! (Yes, God heard my dreams of expanding my flower garden!)

We decided to pass on the blessing, and asked one of the guys from the church youth group if he wanted to help load firewood, in order to earn money for next year's youth group trip. He agreed, and was a wonderful worker! We really appreciated his help.

It took several hours to get everything loaded and unloaded. Our neighbor from across the street helped haul the refrigerator into our kitchen. We'll work on cleaning it and getting it plugged in tomorrow.

Calvin finally convinced me to wash the little jammies, diapers, crib sheets, etc. that we've been saving, so I put in a couple loads to wash while we were unloading the truck. It is so amazing to fold those tiny T-shirts and socks, and to imagine God forming a special someone little enough to fit inside them!
