My sister is a CPA. She does not have kids, so she tends to take care of mine whenever the opportunity presents itself.

Today, He found me standing in line at Wal-Mart with a cart FULL TO THE BRIM of new clothes for my boys with all of $30 in the bank. My sister wanted to take the boys back-to-school shopping. Normally, this makes me feel like the small looser than can’t ever get ahead of the curve long enough to actually have a little money in the bank. Today, though, He found me there and I just felt gratitude.

Don’t get me wrong. I always feel gratidude when she helps out. But yesterday found none of the self depricating feelings. Just gratitude.

When we thanked her, her response was, “As long as you don’t have to go to school naked…”  :)

28“And why are you worried about clothing? Observe how the lilies of the field grow; they do not toil nor do they spin,

29yet I say to you that not even Solomon in all his glory clothed himself like one of these.

30“But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which is alive today and tomorrow is thrown into the furnace, will He not much more clothe you? You of little faith!

Matthew 6:28-30
