"Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us..." (Ephesians 3:20)
My umbrella had been AWOL for a couple of days; I had looked everywhere! Winter rain - a lot of it - had finally come. It was the morning of our planned prayer vigil outside Planned Parenthood, and I was already resigned to standing in the rain, but said a little prayer for my umbrella anyway. Within a few moments - oh joy! - I saw it hiding behind something in my closet and my spirits brightened considerably.
Double joy! After finding the umbrella, I peeked out my bedroom curtains and saw sunshine. My umbrella wasn't needed after all. God gave me a little message that day: He takes delight in providing in abundance, even more than what is needed, like a double rainbow of answered prayer.

I love your little umbrella story! Sometimes, unexpected sunshine makes all the difference to our day, our mood, our state of mind, doesn't it? I find that, at least.
Esther, may your gentle spirit be blessed richly in 2009. I want to wish you and yours, a very happy and healthy, joyful and prosperous New Year. Best wishes for a wonderful 2009~!
Indeed ABUNDANCE!!!
Thank you for a wee snapshot of God's love in your day.
(the word verification is "chases" and it reminds me of chasing Our Lord with our prayers and His wonderful answers...)
