Today is May 21st and my daughter Meg's 9th Birthday. My sister and I took her shopping with her best friend Alyssa as her birthday present from me. The whole day was a lot of fun! My sis and I had fun playing dress up with the girls and they enjoyed it too!
While we were at the store, the girls were trying on clothes and had picked out several things. I knew I had enough money to pay for what they were picking out but I hadn't really planned on spending a bunch of money on clothes for both girls today as I had given Meg her birthday money from me that morning. Just as I was trying to figure out how to address the issue with the girls, a lady came up and gave my sister a 40% off coupon good for our entire purchase. This equaled me being able to get all of the clothes for my daughter's friend virtually for free!
It didn't occur to me how much of a miracle that was until we were sitting down and eating dinner at a restaurant later. My sister and I were talking about it, and I said that it had to be God, and my sister said, "Oh, you know it! A song with Hallelujah in it even came on right after the lady handed me the coupon."
How cool is that!
God just loves us so much and wants us to have the desires of our hearts... mine was to bless my daughter and her friend today and see them just have a really great day.
I didn't pray with anyone today... I saw a couple of possible opportunities but I am sorry to say that I kind of let them slip by. I did pray with my sister's friend tonight though, she is pregnant and overdue. Anybody who has been pregnant can understand what it is like just to want that baby out of your body! So we prayed that she would go into labor in Jesus' Name!
