The blessings of God

Daily God blows me away by his blessings. Anyone who has been reading my blog will know that we have been at some really low points in our life over the past 2 months. But in everything we have had Faith that God would work everything out to His glory. We couldn't always see how things were going to work out but we had Faith that it would. Back during the summer our back window in our truck got accidentally busted out. Now it really hasn't been a big deal because it has been warm although the rain has made it a little uncomfortable because it made the back seat wet. Well it is starting to get cooler and eventually winter is coming we even have said to each other that the kids can wear their jackets and we have blankets so it is going to be ok. Because we have price checked the cost of having to replace the window and we just did not have the finances to replace the window. Well we really haven't thought about it because it wasn't in our budget. Well we have been paying tithes faithfully on every dime that has come into our home. There has not been a question of should we pay tithes this time or what about this time. My husband settled it in his heart that from now on from this day forward we are going to pay tithes no matter what God comes first. I in my heart made up in my heart that I was going to quit looking at the circumstances and start having Faith for what God was doing and going to do. Also the place where we live sent out a letter saying that were no longer going to mow the lawns for the tenets.  Well ok we dont have a mower and they said once the grass reaches 4 inches then they will mow it and charge $40 towards our rent. Well that is just crazy because we are doing good to pay the bills we do have without having to pay an extra fee like that every month.  Well in the natural eye we didn't see what we were going to do because we don't have the finances to buy a mower right now. Well yesterday we saw the windows of Heaven open and God blessing us. A man that we dont know walked up to us in church and said that he noticed our window and that him and his wife want to have it fixed for us. He is supposed to call us today to get it all set up. My husband is in tears everytime he thinks about it because no one has ever done anything like that for him and he feels so blessed by God and honored that someone would do something like that for him. Then we come home from church and we are watching a movie together and we get a knock on the door and it is our neighbor the one who had fixed our truck for cheap when we first moved here well he just got a riding mower and he is offering to mow everyone's yards for $10 each well we told him that we didnt get paid until Wednesday and he was like no problem I can mow it now and you can pay me then so my husband told him that since he was willing to do that then on Wednesday we would give him $15. We really see that as a blessing from God. Our neighbor might not know that God is using him but God blesses His children by different ways. Then last nights church service they layed on hands and prayed for people to receive God's blessings.  On Thursday-Saturday our church is having a yard sale and one of the ladies asked me if I wanted to come out and help and be a part of it well being hurt in the past when being involved in churches has caused my husband and i to build up walls and coming into this he had said we will attend church but we are not getting involved. I laugh as I write this because I have since then attended a lady's meeting which was awesome and i was set free of some things and we bow faithfully attended Sunday school which my husband has never wanted to do but he said lets try it and he now loves it and now we are going to help out these 3 days at the yard sale, and then on Sunday is the labor day church picnic and then on September 10th my husband had me sign us up for membership class. All of this after saying 2 months ago that we were not going to get involved just attend. God is working everything out to His glory. I can see His hand moving in our lives and I can feel that fire that once burned for Him so long ago.  My husband has a dropped foot and back issues but he went forward for prayer and we may not see the healing at this time but we know that God is healing him and that is due time we will see the evidence of the healing.  God is so faithful and He will work everything out you just have to have faith and not look at your situation but keep your eyes on Him and He will make a way. Read your Bible, pray and worship God daily and in all things. Cover all of your bases and don't ever tie God's hands. I say this because we did that we were robbing God by not paying tithes so we were shutting the windows of heaven and tying Gods hands.  Is our life perfect, no. But we are made perfect through Jesus. We still have problems that only God can work out. We have 8 children that are grown and we raised them in and out of church but the know right from wrong and they have known God but they are not currently living christian lives and this breaks our hearts. We pray that God brings back to their remembrance the words of God that they know and that God sends Godly people into their lives so that way that will turn back to God. We have a daughter who is living in a drug addiction life and she is in bondage. It is upsetting to see this and know this but we cant get in our flesh and get angry because she has her own feel will to do what she wants to do but we can pray for her and pray that God sends witnesses into her life.
