Provision

What does God's providing look like?

This past month,  for us,  it looks like:

 1. A working stove,  missing the front glass,  
for $20 when our
vintage beauty... ahem...  
died, 
(without catching the house on fire!!)
 2. A quarter of grass-fed beef....
we hated to admit we couldn't afford it,  
then they gave it to us!!
 3. Pretty new clothes ,  thanks to a generous gift.
4. Another bountiful raspberry harvest.   
(Last years harvest was so great,  
we didn't have to buy any frozen fruit 
all year for our smoothies, yogurt or waffles.)

I am humbled by God's provision. 
He doesn't wait for me 
to get my attitude right 
before he  blesses. 
In fact,  my attitude has been rather
stinky
lately.
Especially over the money issues. 
God is so good, so faithful,
to provide us with these things,
most of which are gravy,
truly extras.
