I just wanted to give God thanks for a blessing He gave us yesterday. Kary and I are planning a camping trip for our family in May. We have a tent that is quit old and has some holes that we were going to have to repair so we decided to look into getting new one for a reasonable price.
We really didn't have the extra money to buy a tent, but we did need one in order to go on our camping trip. We are taking our kids to camp because Kary and I have camped all our growing up years and we want our girls to have the same great memories. I love being outdoors and it is such a great feeling to be so close to nature and God's creation.
We looked online and found a tent that was about $140 which was more then we wanted to spend, but we really liked it. A few days later we went to Target to look at it and see what else they had. When we got there we discovered that there was only one left of the one we liked and it was on SALE! It was now $70. That was much more in our price range, but we really didn't have the extra cash right then. We decided to wait and see if it would still be there when Kary got paid again. It was kinda hard to leave it because it was such a good deal we were just sure that someone would buy it before then.
Kary went to work the next day and had a business meeting. In the meeting they asked what the TSYS vision was and no one answered. So Kary raised his hand and gave the answer, and the meeting went on. After the meeting was over he was given a $50 visa gift card! It was just one of those sweet blessings from God and it was just at the right time. So the tent cost us about $24 with taxes and all.
I couldn't help but feel God smiling on us and trying to tell us that He is watching out for even the smallest desires of our hearts. I think it was just a glimpse of some of the things he wants to bless us with in this coming year. He is a faithful God and weather or not we see the little
blessings that he pours out is up to us......
