Miracles

So sit right down and you'll hear a tale, a tale of a faithful ship that.... Sorry I was getting carried away. It would however be ok to grab a coffee or tea right about now because this blog may be a tad long. I'm going to tell you an amazing story that still leaves me in wide eyed wonder. Once upon a time oh about 10 years ago our eldest was visiting us from Ottawa. She was living there at the time and going to school. Now, in those days money was scarce on all sides, but we promised to drive her home on the Friday. On the Wednesday my hubby and I were beginning to get a little anxious. We were flat broke.. Before I continue lets ponder this catch phrase flat and broke. I'm not certain of it's origin but it reminds me of a deflated tire.. Yep that sounds just about right. Where was I? Oh back to being a little anxious. I'm glad to state that even back then I had this indomitable faith that things would work out fine. Thursday came and nearly went. I called Hubby at work and asked him how much money we would need for the trip. "At the bare minimum" he said "200$". So I went to my kitchen window and cried out to God. I remember pleading my case and telling him that we had a duty and made promises and all of it was good. I said that He was a God who always carried out his promises and that I trusted him . Just then, the phone rang.. It was my bro from down south. Years prior he had borrowed 200$ from us and he wanted to know my bank account # so he could pay us back. With tears of joy I tried to relate to him the significance of the timing and how good God was. I don't know if he understood. We had enough money for gas and food for the trip and even a little something to buy some staples for our daughter. In the meantime we had put our little cavalier up for sale (the cavalier is the name of a car not a child) just saying . We thought we could get the 200$ that way. A few days after we had come back I received a call from a young man. He said that he would trade a snow machine for our car. I told him that I didn't think so but I took his number and said I would ask hubby about it. No sooner had I gotten off the phone then this gut disturbing, mind blowing feeling came over me. We were to give this man our car and not only that but we were to tell him that God wanted him to have it. Am I losing some of you right about now,,, WAIT.. wait till I tell you how it ends. I waited till Mr D came home and very reluctantly shared with him this bit of info. A few questions about my mental state later he decides to trust me or rather trust God and see how it panned out. I took a deep breath and called the young fella. I told him that he was to have the car free of charge and then I spit out "Oh and by the way God told me to tell you that this was a gift from him" The man began to cry. He told me that he had prayed that very same thing. He had been on welfare with 2 little girls and a wife. The next week his wife called us up and told us that he had been very discouraged but this event turned his life around. Now, please try and remember that I'm only telling you this so that you might be encouraged and not because I live in some supernatural realm. I'm just as sane and normal as you are.. (tee hee)  Miracles are still happening we just need eyes to see and a heart to hear. When God does something he does it big. He's the master of greatness. So if your having doubts today, or you are needing a miracle of your own just take a moment and look up and ask.. God loves you so.. ♥ Happy trails until we meet again...
