God was busy today...

(Last night's journal entry)

God was busy today...

*HE listened with a tender ear as I prayed over a list of specific needs.

*HE answered promptly with clarity.

*HE prompted a spirit-led friend to deliver a sum of money for some work I'd done for her....it was exactly what was needed to cover a checking account....she had no idea!

*HE helped a kind lawyer explain that payments could indeed be made to speed a relative towards a safer, happier life. Oh, the relief.

*Tonight, one of the children thanked God for our trials, "so we can learn lessons from our mistakes". I felt His love then, and am grateful that my children are learning gospel truths.

*My Heavenly Father was in a meeting behind closed doors today. Unbeknowngst to us, a certain hard-working intern was a topic of discussion. Needs this month will be met. Gratitude abounds.

*Did you know that our Father in Heaven loves Boy Scouts? I didn't. But, HE was at a Pack Meeting tonight. Jake received his Arrow of Light award, and work pays off for everyone involved. I received a much-needed testimony of the importance of Boy Scouts for this particular son. I'm thankful for Spirit-led leaders, too.

*HIS Mighty Hand was there when the keys got locked in my van. Helpful neighbors came to my rescue. One offered a phone number, resulting in the prompt arrival of our maintenance man to let me into my house to fetch my spare keys. The inconvenience was short-lived. (If you've ever lived in OP Estates, you know that "maintenance" and "prompt" are rarely in the same sentence.)

*I saw God at work late this evening, helping the Kansas State Wildcats advance to the Elite Eight!

*And did you notice what He did outside just today? Oh my goodness. Blossoms are popping out, and buds are coming to the surface. And that lucious green grass--- oh. so. vibrant. But, best of all, gray skies be gone! The sunshine and warmer temps feed my soul.

He loves ME. He did all this for ME. God was busy today.
