Thankful Thursday

Instead of me doing an entry this week on thankfulness, I am going to let my son, LCD. He got blessed this morning and has a testimony and just cannot wait to tell someone (his words).

This morning we took Daddy to work.   Let's back up. This past week at midweek service, LCD put $5 in the offering. This was his money and he only gets $10 whenever he mows the grass. So, now back to today. We drove Daddy to work and on the way home LCD decides he cannot wait until we get home to eat. I only have enough money on me for gas and besides, I had just gone to the grocery store yesterday so there's food at home. We pass by Hardee's. This is one of his favorite fast foods and he offers to pay for his own food. Now he only has $5 left from his earnings this week. Breakfast hours had just ended (he really wanted a chicken biscuit) so he opts for a chicken sandwich. The combo meal would be over $5 so he orders just the sandwich and water. When we get to the window, the lady says "If you don't mind having it on a biscuit instead of a bun, I'll just give it to you." So, LCD got his chicken biscuit after all and didn't have to pay for it either. When we pulled out he said "You know what our lesson was last Sunday in Sunday School?? God will provide. I can't wait to tell everyone Sunday what just happened."

I am thankful that not only does God work in my life but He also works in my children's lives. Something as little as getting a biscuit and being able to save a little money meant so much to LCD and he was able to see God's blessing in it. It just fuels the fire of faith!!
