Yesterday was my youngest son's tenth birthday.  He asked for a certain toy and some bubble gum.  Because we are running on a very tight budget at the moment, Hubby explained that he couldn't buy him the toy right now but would get the bubble gum for him.  Baby Boy ran to me yelling excitedly, "Momma, Daddy's going to buy me some bubble gum!!"  Instead of thinking of what he would miss, he was happy about what he was going to get.  He's such an amazing    boy. 

Well God is SO good.  Yesterday afternoon, the new neighbors behind us told me that as they were cleaning out the house, they found some toys.  He asked me if I wanted them for my children and I said yes.  When we brought it in, we found 2 very nice backpacks, a lazer tag game, one battery operated train set, one electric train set, various little people and two basketballs

After our birthday dinner complete with cake and ice cream, Hubby and I were talking about Baby Boy and the toy he requested.  Hubby told me he was touched by Baby Boy's heart and had actually went after work to see if he could find the toy on sale, but couldn't.  He said he's going to get it as soon as he can.   And we remembered that a while back, BB had asked about us getting him a backpack and now he has one and Baby Girl too!

I have no doubt that BB is enjoying the 'gift' he got much better than the one he requested.  And he'll soon get the one he requested as well.

Not only did I get to see God bless our family in a very special way, but my Heavenly Father showed me a lesson through BB.  Sometimes HE answers yes, sometimes the answer is wait and sometimes the answer is no.  Whatever HIS answer to me is, I pray that I accept it graciously, ever knowing that HE has my best interest in mind and all things will work out for my good.
