Blessed!


Well, what can we say!? The Lord looks out for His own :)

Lynn and I went to the grocery store on Tuesday in fear and trepidation :) (Not really... I'm usually more afraid than Lynn!)

We were having family for company and were in much need of groceries... so off we went. We had a little difficulty at the cash, but lo and behold, we walked out with our groceries, ready to host our dearly loved family members!

When my cousin, her husband, and their nephew arrived just before 7:00 pm to stay for the night, we thought we were receiving a blessing of family fellowship. This we did receive, but also more! Steven, my cousin's husband, is the head chef at a restaurant on PEI. He has several contacts in the food industry and gets all his meats on special deals. As he was bringing in their luggage, they dragged in a big, blue cooler. They opened it up and presented to us a truckload (not really...) of meat! There were ribs, haddock, lobster (still alive!), and scallops galore! Steven then preceded to host us in our "own" home and we ate lobster and scallops for a late supper/snack :)

Isn't that wonderful! We had a surprise visit from our family and a surprise blessing of provision from the Lord!

What can I say? We're blessed!

That is so great. Praise the Lord! We had a similar experience this past fall. We got an anonymous donation from someone of some restaurant food like meat and it was such a blessing.

That's just awsome! It's always nice when people you love bless you out of the blue like that. This best part is that this is just the tip of the iceberg that God can/will do for you.
