Provision

Well, something funny happened today. To understand how it's funny, we need to go back a few days. I lost my job in April. Laura's been helping me look for jobs. During this whole time I've not been afraid. Last year when I was jobless, I was terrified! However, I feel a peace about it. I'm trusting in God's provision for us.
A few days ago I was getting dressed and was remarking about how few tee-shirts I had left. Laura said I needed to buy some new ones, and I agreed that we would when I found a job. I didn't really think much of that comment until today. Laura and I were just about to make lunch when the postman rang our buzzer with a parcel for us. I was surprised as neither of us had ordered anything for weeks, and my birthday was almost two months ago. It turns out the parcel was from my Aunt Claudia in Arizona. It contained Christmas gifts. One of the gifts was a tee-shirt for me! To me, it shows that God is providing for us, even for the small things that we don't necessarily need! Praise God for His abundant mercy!
