And again. . .

Today, yet again God provided for our needs in His own way. I have been amazed at the generosity of our friends and family and their willingness to be used by God. While we have work now, sales are always slow to start and it takes awhile to recover from no income. We never know when we go to the mailbox what will be there - rebates/dinner gift cards/money from someone just thinking of us. God is so good to us. We deserve nothing - well, worse than that we deserve eternity apart from God.
But God, who is rich in mercy,
for his great love wherewith he loved us,
Even when we were dead in sins,
hath quickened us together with Christ,
(by grace ye are saved;)
And hath raised us up together,
and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus:
That in the ages to come
he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace
in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus.
Ephesians 2:4
God's kindess to me is evidenced every day by His provision for us but the real kindness is His provision for my eternity - forever with HIM!
