My great-grandfather, Pops Deboer, used to quote Psalm 68:19 every time we came to visit him: "Blessed be the Lord, who daily loadeth us with benefits, even the God of our salvation."
God gives us so many benefits during the course of a day - our health, air to breathe, food to eat, relationships, etc. But every once in a while He gives us something special, something to "spoil" us, just because He loves us.
Today I got "spoiled." :)
I've been wanting an old 1930's radio for a while. It's not a need, to be sure! But I really love their vintage look and wanted one for my house. I mentioned this to a friend a while back and she's been keeping her eyes open for me at antique shops and yard sales. However, these types of radios usually run about at least $150, if not more. I don't have $150 to blow on a "want," so I put the idea aside and forgot about it.
Then, out of the blue, my friend texted me today and said that she found this one at a yard sale for only $40!!!! It's in BEAUTIFUL condition. I'm so thrilled!
God didn't have to provide this for me, but He did :) I'm so thankful for His special "benefit" today!
Isn't God good?! He did this for our little house more than once, always reminding me that He provides "exceeding abundantly above ALL that we ask or think"!
ReplyDeleteThat's a blessing, and that's just like God, isn't it?! Thanks for sharing and I'm happy for you :)
