God Cares About The Little Things

God Cares
 
So many times people feel like they don't want to "bother" God for the little things in life. But we have found that some of the greatest blessings can be found in the normal needs of everyday life.
 
Our refrigerator has been slowly getting warmer and warmer to the point that the freezer was no longer freezing. It is old and we're thankful it lasted as long as it has. Today we said we would check out the prices and see what it would cost here on the island. Home Depot had some nice ones, though their appliance sale was a couple of weeks ago.  So onto Sears I went. SALE on appliances! I found a refrigerator that was within our budget. Delivery is not free here, neither is the removal of the old one. As I talked to the salesman I told him that just a few days ago the Lord had provided some money for our ministry. Come to find out he was a pastor of a church on this island...
 
The frig could not be delivered until Saturday. Hmmmmm. He said let me check to see if one is in stock, came back and said he could deliver it himself on his lunch break for less than the contract delivery drivers could do it AND he could do it today.
 
God DOES care about the little things. We bought a refrigerator on sale, the pastor made some money delivering it (which is okay in my book as they are underpaid for the work they do) and we now have a new frig in our kitchen....all for LESS than the ministry money given to us. This was a double blessing.
 
Isn't God Amazing!!!
