God is good!

A couple days ago, a posted our farewell to green beans. I am guessing God is a frequent visitor of our blog because guess what they have started selling at our grocery store this week? GREEN BEANS!!! And not just any brand of green beans but Del Monte green beans! A friend of ours found them at HomePlus and decided to share with the school that green beans were available. Patrick was so kind and immediately went to the store ( about 8:30 at night) and bought a bag full of green beans and sweet peas (Yeah God sent sweet peas too!).



Many times we question how God could care for our small needs and then if he really does. Many times these 'needs' are really just 'wants' and not a true need. God blesses us more than we can ever ask or imagine. I was completely satisfied with waiting 2 more months for another bite of green beans but God decided to bless us. We don't know how long they will be around as things change from day to day here but I am not going to complain. For the next few weeks at least, God has decided to show us that He is in control and cares about each part of our lives. So I know that if God cares about green beans, He cares about helping us decide on selling or renting our house and will provide someone for that. Praise God that He is in control and not me!


THANK YOU GOD FOR GREEN BEANS

Matthew 6:25-31

25"Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more important than food, and the body more important than clothes? 26Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? 27Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life[b]?
28"And why do you worry about clothes? See how the lilies of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. 29Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. 30If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith? 31So do not worry, saying, 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear?' 32For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. 33But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. 34Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.
