God's Blessings



We were blessed by God last week! The team from our partner church in Egypt were here in Orlando for a sports conference. We were able to host several of the team in our home. What a blessing each member of the team was to our hearts. God sent his comfort and heart to us through them. I am so thankful that we could receive such encouragement at a time that we needed it most. I love God's timing. It is perfect.

Romans 1:10-12
In all my prayers, I ask God to make it possible for me to visit you. I want to see you and share with you the same blessings that God's Spirit has given me. Then you will grow stronger in your faith. What I am saying is that we can encourage each other by the faith that is ours. "

Provision



Have you ever seen a traffic light bulb being changed out? I haven't until the other day. This truck pulled up and put up the ladder, replaced the bulb and was done before the next rotation of the light. What an opporutnity to actually see this! I take for granted the fact that there are bulbs in the traffic lights that work and have never stopped for even a second to think that someone is watching over these lights to make sure they are always working. If they are not working, someone is dispatched to fix them before any accidents occur.

What provisions has God given you that you take for granted? He does so much for each of us, and it usually includes something we do not even realize is a provision in our life. If you are blessed, you can see this happen in front of your eyes!

Psalm 115:5

" He provides food for those who fear him;
he remembers his covenant forever."
