There were so many cool little things today that I would just like to stop a minute and thank God for.
I know it seems silly to thank God for Starbucks Chai Tea Lattes, but I am really grateful for them. They put a smile on my face and they are warm and delicious. I will even drink them when it is 105degrees outside. Money has been tight this summer and so I had found ways to for go my favorite treat. But today I was taking my kids to see their other grandparents and taking my daughter to use a gift card she had received for her birthday at a toy store near the mall. This meant that I had to drive past the "good Starbucks". I know that seems silly but the Starbucks in Collinsville is much tastier than the one near my house... don't ask why, I can't really explain it, but theirs always tastes a tad bit spicier than the other ones. :O)
So as I am driving along, I am asking the Lord, "Can I stop for a chai?" My good sense tells me no, I shouldn't I need to watch my money and spending nearly $5 on a cup of tea with milk in it is ridiculous when I have school supplies that I need to get for my kids. I wasn't going to stop. I was going to drive right on by.... I pulled into the parking lot anyway. I placed my order and there were several people in front of me and I was the back of the line. I don't know how long I waited... frankly I wasn't paying attention - just anticipating that spicy goodness.
I got to the window and the cashier says, "I am not going to charge you. You waited too long in line."
Dude, you just single handedly made my day... just saying!
But... it gets better...
We got to my ex-un-laws and they offered to take the kids school supply shopping. Grandma bought over half of their school supplies and had gotten each of them a backpack with their initials embroidered on it. Then a client called and ended up airbrushing her at the last minute which paid for the remainder of their school supplies!
I just have to say that He is so faithful and that I am so spoiled! What He does for me, through me, and with me He is willing to do for all of His children. He wants to be our need meeter. No other faith out there has a God who WANTS - INTENSELY DESIRES- to be our need meeter! He really is a good Daddy!
