Jun. 6, 2008 - Summer Fun and Kisses from God
Don't you just love 'God Kisses?' You know, when you really want something, but it's not really a need and you don't have the $$, but then God gives you one?
I started out the day yesterday perusing the online selection of water toys...mostly slip and slides, the deluxe models. Sadly, my husband just lost his supplemental income job...the one that pays for extras and groceries, so money is going to be a little tight around here until he picks up something else. So my perusal was more wishful thinking than anything else. "You know, maybe if I can find a really good deal..."
Later in the morning, while taking my kids to FREE Tennis Camp, I passed a garbage heap that had something on top that looked a lot like something I had seen online that very morning. Girls, I am not proud. I exclaimed, "I think I am going to be a garbage picker today!" My three year old said, "I wanna be a garbage picker too!" (this caused some problems for me later in the day...she said it all day long...made for some interesting conversations...heehee) So, I dropped off the boys and doubled back by that house. I threw the whole contraption in the back of my van deciding to wait until I got home to see what was wrong with it.
I stopped by my house and threw it on the porch and went on to run my errands. When I picked up the boys, they were so excited to see it on the porch. Ian took it to the back yard to unfold it and see what was wrong. Here is what he found...
And here is how I fixed this simple problem...
Larger view of my creative solution.
Clamped off with a rubberband and a twisttie, the hose part worked like a charm and will provide many hours of summer fun, courtesy of God.
Isn't God good?
Hope you are all having a great summer too!!

Praise God!! I just LOVE it when He does that kind of thing. Not that I don't dig the big stuff, but it's in the little things that He completely blows my socks off! That's so cool!!! :D
