post worthy?
I consider
many, many things
when pondering a post
should I? should I not?
trivial? noteworthy?
this one
was a FOR SURE
from the moment it happened
night before last
I made metal note
of the thread bare towel
that I attempted to dry off with:
RIPPED
and then
mid morning as I was taking a load of clothes
from the dryer
I noted that
my FAVORITE towel:
MILDEWED
apparently while we were gone to the beach
just moments later
Mighty Mouse
screaming
hobbling
toe bleeding
I reach for the closest
towel to wrap his foot in
which just so happened to be:
ANOTHER RIPPED
towel
hanging over the shower rod
3 towels down in less than 12 hours
So I made mental note
to add white towels to my
anniversary or Christmas wish list
within the hour of the loss of the 3rd towel
Cowboy Dan’s sweet aunt
came to take the rascals to the library
and bring us a toddler mattress and bed that she no longer needed (a BLESSING)
and then she said to me:
“hey you don’t need any towels do you?”
(to myself…”did she just ask me if we needed any towels???????????????”)
awestruck
I couldn’t do anything
but
smile.
and then
I said “SURE. We could definitely use some towels..THANK YOU.”
now.
to you
this may be a hokey story about towels
to me
and my family
a BLESSING straight from the Lord!!!
why?
Because we have been praying the Jabez Prayer for a little over three weeks..discussing with the rascals that the Lord’s blessings come in various forms…not always tangible….
I could already write a small book on the BLESSINGS the Lord
has chosen to send our way…….
but more than this story is about the BLESSINGS (because we were also given a chicken, a rabbit and a goose–from three different sources..ALL THIS WEEK..)
it’s about growing our FAITH
and our children’s FAITH
that GOD
HEARS and ANSWERS the prayers of those who SEEK HIM!!
so tonight
I AM THANKFUL
and HUMBLED
and want to GLORIFY HIS NAME
for
the
chicken, the rabbit, the goose and the FOUR WHITE TOWELS
WE ARE GRATEFUL!
