God is good all the time

I am just reflecting how good God is all the time. There are many times that we know this fact, but there are some days that it simply stands out to us like a glaring neon sign. This past Friday, August 1st, 2008, was my wife's birthday. She stated that the only thing she wanted was to know if we were going to get the house that we had made an offer on. It was in the dreaded "short sale" process. We had been told that the shortest time that this could take was 45 days. Her birthday would be less than 21 days and I wanted to prepare her for the worst...it wouldn't happen. Well, that afternoon we heard that in fact the short sale had gone through. God cared enough to let my wife know his love in a very personal way. It did not stop there tough. We went shopping for a rocking chair for her as we will be having our newest member to our family soon. We took the information up to the counter to pay for it and they range it up...$260 off. They were having an 18 hour sale and the chair was already on sale so it was going to be 45% off. Amazing. Then we went out for dinner and I asked the waiter what the specials where for birthday's. My wife is kicking me under the table now because she does not want cake nor have them come and sing for her. The waiter informed us it was a free meal! God is good all the time, but there are days like my wife had today that make it so clear. It is simply amazing!
