Wonders!!

You know... it has never ceased to amaze me at how God works in people's lives. And when you're doing all you know to do to serve Him and stay in the center of HIS will it seems as if the blessings just don't stop. I'm not talking about immense and tremendous all the time. In fact, there are times when it's just the blessing of breathing that means so much. However, there have been a few times in my life where God has blessed to the point of me wondering if I'd be able to breathe again!!! Those times when you feel your gonna have a heart attack and pass out! Those times when you're left standing there with mouth hanging wide open and eyes busting outa their sockets. Well let me tell you...just such an incident happened last week and I just HAVE to share.

We've been in need of a new washer and dryer for a few months now. Seems as if our washer (in particular) had decided that it didn't like our family anymore. It wouldn't run part of the time, left big stains more parts of the time and all around...just didn't want to work. Well we just figured we'd muddle thru a few more months until tax return and get a new set. So basically all we'd done was talked about it to each other and let it at that. WELL... God had other plans for us. This time last week an envelope with $1,000.00 cash in it and marked washer/dryer made it thru our door and into our lives!!! WOW!! I couldn't believe it. Wasn't expecting it or anything. I think I did stop breathing for quite a bit and I'm sure there was drool falling out of my mouth as I stared in amazement. But this is just how God works at times in our lives. He's been so good to us. Blessed us with a wonderful marriage, five super kids, a great church and list upon list more. I didn't want to take this extra special blessing for granted and come across ungrateful. So to the person/s that did this....we are so very thankful and may God bless you immensly as you have done what He asked and blessed us!!

These are the machines I got. I have cut my laundry time in half with them as they are able to do twice the amount of load than what my previous washer/dryer could do. So it cuts my time in half that I spend in our dungeonistic basement!!! LOL!! God is good.....all the time!
