PROVISION

So I have been thinking a lot about provision lately. 
I watch the squirrel in our yard and think about how God provides even for the animals.
I see my children come to me, asking if they can have an afternoon snack, if they can have ice cream after football practice, if they can have the newest Nike shoes.
It is something I have been thinking about.
Provision.
Sometimes provision comes through the encouraging words of a friend.
Sometimes it comes through a surprise raise, no matter how small it is.
Sometimes it comes through your son's hug and cuddling during the TV show at night.
Sometimes it is the simple hand of my husband on my back as he walks by me in the kitchen.

Today...provision came to us once again...

God sent us a man we have never met in person. You know I don't even know where he lives for sure. I think it might be Missouri. His name was on a string of emails that were distributed by a friend of ours about a month ago. Luke. That is about all I know.

But today...he became God's vessel in our lives. Today, he ordered this: 

...and paid for it....100%...
for a little girl he has never met.
For a little girl he has only seen for a matter of minutes via a video clip.
For a little girl that means the world to us....


God provided a walker for Lucy through a man named Luke.
And our family continues to claim Genesis 22:14
"On the mountain of the Lord it will be provided!"
