Provision

One thing that annoys me with my kids is when it is dinnertime and I am obviously cooking, and they come ask me for a snack. "Can I have___?" (chips, an apple, whatever they see)

"No, I am cooking supper."

"I'm hungry."

"Yes, I know, that is why I am cooking supper."

You see, kids, I know what you need. I'm the mommy. I know that you are hungry AND THAT IS WHY I AM COOKING SUPPER!!!

Isn't God this way? He is already providing for us, sometimes even before we ask. And usually far above what we think to ask.

I'll give you an example from this week. It is so minor, and yet it meant alot to me. Spenser is going to Boy Scout camp next week, and he needed 3 Scout t-shirts in addition to his uniform. He only had 2 that we could find-- others had holes or stains or had disappeared. I was a little concerned, because I didn't really have any extra money for shirts (they are $10 each.)

We got to his Scout meeting where they inspected the boys' gear, and we told the Scout Master that he only had 2 shirts. He said it would be ok, but in the meantime, one of the scouts came up to Spenser with a bag in his hand-- it had 3 shirts in it that he had outgrown.

You see, Leslie, I know what you need. I'm God. I know that you have a need, and I am already providing for it.
