I really want and need to see our children for the Christmas break. But alas it looked like our budget would not stretch to make it happen. The bill that come at this time of year, they roll in relentlessly. A bombardment of financial commitments of life just seem so worse at this time of year. Then I stopped and thought a while and reconciled myself to stay at home and make the best of what we have and not complain. I thought of all those other folks that have it so much harder now. The once who do not have some one who loves them, or even have a bed to sleep within. How could I be so insensitive to just wing and whine and think of me.
Then I prayed again today "Dear Lord let me feel just how good I have got live. Let me see all the wonderful things you do for me. I think of others at this time, those who life has left them behind. Lord although I have needs and wants, I ask you now bless all those people who really need you now. They may not know you as I do, but Lord please reach out and give them Your Love today. Grant them their deepest wish to find someone to keep them close. To know that out there you are there just waiting to hear from them in prayer. And when they call, Lord help them please with what YOU know they really need. Food and Love and what ever else you can send their way. Now as for me Lord let me be happy with what ever this day will bring to me."
The day began just as most days do, my hubby had an idea to talk to our bank to see what they could do. You know what we found today that Banks do have a Heart and they came up with a solution that will fill the gap.
We will book the seats on the train tomorrow to go to Sydney on the 23rd to spend some days with our family.
So what can I say but "Thank you Lord for I know you hear my every word. Sure I would like to win a mint. But Lord just to have enough will suit me well. But Just so you know Dear Lord above if You were to fill our bucket with a lot of money, I really know just some people I would help. A couple who just never know if the house they rent will finally go for sale, and they will be forced to move. An other family who rent does keep them poor I would buy a house for both of these families. I remember a woman I met so many years ago my nick name for her is Matilda. She has had it hard, much harder than you could know, I would find her Lord and share what I have now. Sure Lord I would love a house, overlooking a friendly beach to watch the wave. But as long as I have our home a roof a bed a Hubby and food, what more do I really need.
Tomorrow I will have a train ticket to our family to spend a time of Love and Peace with those I love most in all the world.
Family....
