The $12 one...
...the free one.When I arrived home the following afternoon, my daughter called and said, "Mom, would you keep an eye out for bicycles at garage sales? Both of our kids' bikes were stolen last night." I KNOW it wasn't coincidence that I picked up that free bicycle! I went a'saling and found a second bike for $12. My husband got busy and painted the free one. By the time our grandchildren came, the newly painted one was drying and ready for riding the next morning.
Another provision arrived this afternoon. In bags on the back porch were beets, green beans, squash and kohlrabi - fresh from the garden of generous friends.
My God WILL supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus. To our God and Father be glory forever and ever. Amen. Philippians 4:19-20.
I don't believe in coincidences either. The bike sure sounds like a God moment. Don't you just love em. I think the Lord allows these type of occurences as a witness that he is with us in all things. Dee
ReplyDeleteI agree, Dee!
ReplyDeleteWhat a blessing. I agree with Dee as well. I love when the Lord knows our needs before we even speak of them.
ReplyDeleteBTW, your husband did a great job on painting the new bicycle... love the color.
Blessings to you and yours,
God is so wonderful to us.
ReplyDeleteHow sweet to know and see God in our everyday lives, sometimes in very BIG ways and sometimes in teeny tiny ways!
ReplyDeleteWhat lovely blessings those bikes are!
blessings and hugs,

Don't you just love when things like that happen? It's like God is saying "See, I told you I'd be there."
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely God was filling a need before you even knew you had need of it!
ReplyDeleteYour grandson looks really happy on that free bike Rebecca! Things do work out! :)
ReplyDeleteI so believe this is true. My husbands car died Saturday morning. It was given to him 5 years ago and served it's purpose well. I'm waiting to see what God replaces it with. We have no money for a loan or for a used car, but God owns the cattle on a thousand hills and He knows our need. Until the replacement comes, I will gladly get up early each morning and drive John to work. He's chosen to ride his bike home as long as the weater is good.
ReplyDeleteRebecca, how wonderful that you found and had your needs met by God's beautiful hand, it happens to me as well. All blessings to be shared with others......:-) Hugs
ReplyDeleteWanda, you are SO right - things do work out (like Eileen says, "before I knew there was a need, God was filling it!" Kathy, I can't WAIT to hear how God will bring another car to your husband. His willingness to ride his bike & yours to get up early and take him to work are initiatives God applauds.
ReplyDeleteALL of you make my day! Together our words affirm, God is good - all the time! All the time - God is good.
God is good ALL the time!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing and reminding me how absolutely wonderful He is and how He always provides for our needs...
Your husband did a great job painting the bike ~ looks brand new! What joy that the harvest of others was shared with you too! I just love seeing how God works...
This has been a great thing for the kids to tangibly see the provision of our Lord- He is so gracious and he loves us so much- even these "small" things are big concerns to the Lord! Praise Him!
ReplyDeleteThe mom of the grandkids with the stolen bikes!
