Jehovah-Jireh

So tonight we were challenged to list 10 ways God has provided for us today.  Here goes, in no particular order:

1.  Health--not just for me, but for my family.  I have 7 extremely healthy children.  I have a healthy husband and I have healthy parents.

2.  Clothing--He didn't clothe me with animal hide today (read from Gen. earlier this week) but He did provide an incredibly cute sweater.  So not only did He provide clothing but He was fashionable about it, too.

3.  Food--we had not 1 soup, but 2 soups for supper this evening.  We will have leftovers for lunch for at least a couple of days.

4.  Transportation--even with Mr. Wonderful's car down, He has made a way for him to get to work AND the part to fix his car should arrive tomorrow. :)

5.  Quiet--I think He knew I needed a bit of it today.  It wasn't perfectly quiet, but Charlie Brown was pretty quiet hanging out with me.

6.  A dance partner--Charlie Brown and I found time to dance to Christmas music while waiting on soup to cook this evening.

7.  Friends--after spending a few years longing for a friend that I knew would be there no matter what, I know that I have more than 1.  Can't wait to meet a few for bfast later this week.

8.  Mom--everybody has one, but not many have one like mine.  Not just a mom, but a friend, confidant, partner in 'crime', prayer support, counselor, and even babysitter.

9.  Marriage--not everyone gets to keep theirs.  I'm thankful He provided, not just a husband, but a dedicated husband who loves me despite my imperfections and is as committed to this life together as I am.

10.  Forgiveness--I needed it today.  I'll need it tomorrow.  \o/
