There were many days when I had no idea how we would acquire our needs, but the Lord provided each and every time. He reminded me as I prayed, "Remember the flowers, how I provide nutrients, sunshine and love, remember the birds, how they scurry around collecting twigs that I lovingly placed for them to find. How much more do you think I love you?"
The truth is I never went hungry, while my cousin adopted a child who was blinded as a toddler due to lack of nutrition in her homeland. It has broken my heart many times to think of a mother giving up a child to save her life.
... I confess, I did worry for the needs of my family, but I also took all things to God in prayer and I was blessed with the opportunity to see what God will do, if you trust Him and seek His will. The more I sought to TRUST, the more JOY I found.
This Christmas I will purchase gifts with money I "earned" traveling and teaching, but the truth is, all good things come from God and are HIS provisions, whether they showed up as a check with your name on it for services rendered, or were delivered by a friend in your time of need. ALL good things come from God.
All God's blessings for this season of CHRIST. Merry Christmas, Katrina
