Provision of the Simple Things in Life

I so often forget to be thankful for the little things that the Lord has given me and the small ways He has provided for me. I have been trying to learn how to thank Him for EVERYTHING. I just wanted to share with you one way the Lord provided for me today.

Right now, I'm working on getting our next newsletter sent. Our newest prayer card is being included with the newsletter. As I was stuffing envelopes, I started noticing that my pile of prayer cards was dwindling quicker than my stack of labeled envelopes. I prayed that they would be multiplied, but, alas, soon they ran out. After calling Jeremy, we decided to print 75 more prayer cards- enough for the rest of our mailing plus some extras.

That morning in my email inbox, I had received a coupon code for pictures from Walgreens. At the time, I didn't think I would need it, so I deleted it. Sure enough, I was able to retrieve it out of the trash and read the specifics about the offer. The special offer was only for printing 75 4 x 6 photos, the exact size and amount we needed- 33% off.

Thank you, Lord, for providing that coupon this morning, knowing that we were going to run out of prayers cards and need to get more printed today. May I never take for granted the ways in which you provide for me, small or great.

How has the Lord been providing for you?
