God is Clever

My family and I had the most fabulous Memorial Day weekend away. I am so grateful that it’s difficult for me to find the words to express it.

I met a woman at my Emmaus Walk retreat a month or two ago. Cindy’s a lovely lady transitioning into her own. Ah, change and transition is sometimes difficult and painful right? Anyway, she needed some help with some writing resources. She’s a gifted writer and now has the time to invest in her writing career now that her children are grown. Of course, I was more than willing to help her for the pleasure of being helpful. There is a pleasure in helping others and I am usually game to help wherever I can.

She invited my family to stay in her bed and breakfast over Memorial Day weekend, something she too would have done anyway. Just for the pleasure of being generous and blessing my little family with a little R&R away from home. She’s generous and thoughtful like that. That’s my kind of people.

We sat on the three-layer deck overlooking the fountain shooting out of the pond at sunset. Just looking at my baby, daughter and husband – my precious little family – blissfully eating a 7-layer Mexican dip, I felt very deliriously happy.

We’ve been asking God for abundance. It would have costs $450 to spend the weekend here,” I explained to my husband. “If God had given us $450 in cash we NEVER would have done this with it. We would have felt irresponsible taking a vacation when we need air conditioning in our new mini-van. But, God is providing us time away from the monotony of our daily life. We need time together as a family to have fun with each other. He also knows how to make sure we get it, by not giving us the cash, but giving us a kind friend with an empty B&B.

God is so clever!

Thank You Cindy!
