He is worthy of Praise!!!

I just have to share how GREAT God was to me today. As I reflected on my day today today I just became overwhelmed with thankfulness to the Lord for blessing my day the way that He did!!! First I woke up to a semi clean home. Kitchen in order so I was able to make my girls a favorite breakfast item toast and homemade jam. (Not made by me I am not that domestic yet although I plan on trying this summer) I was able to make my husbands coffee and allow him to sleep in which he never does! I enjoy him getting extra rest because I know he needs it. I was able to get the kitchen all cleaned up and pour him his coffee before I left for work.

I was trying to be as positive about work as possible because I was really not looking forward to cleaning for 5 and 1/2 hours. I promised myself that I would come home for lunch today so it wouldn't feel so painful haha! As I was working I was able to listen to christian music on the surround home stereo system which always makes it nicer to clean! The first half went by very fast which was wonderful because I was off to have lunch at home with my family :)

I came home and the girls were still up and not down for their nap yet so we all ate some good old hot dogs and chips and as I was getting ready to leave I had to go outside for a minute. We use our front door very little so I was very surprised to find and aluminum cover plate and a card with my name on it :) An amazing card left from a friend and a huge plate of chocolate chip cookies!!! YUMMY! After taking a few cookies I had to be on my way to work.

I stopped at a gas station on the way to grab a pop. While I was there a lady was paying all in change. Unlike most people I was unusually patient with it which even surprised me. As the lady was getting close to finishing counting her $8 of change. My heart got softened towards her situation so I put back one of my pops because they were on a special it was a really good deal to buy two instead of one. I figured I would have one extra dollar to give her. So as the lady was finished I tapped her shoulder and said here ya go and gave her 1 dollar. I know I was thinking the same thing really Chelsie only one dollar but I knew God could use that one dollar.  I really thought I only had 3 dollars in my hand after she left I checked and had 3dollars still after giving her 1 dollar. I was able to get the deal on the pop. As I finished up I looked outside to the big ole boat of a van she was driving. I went to her and asked her if I offended her and assured her if I had more to give I truly would. She was still very thankful for the dollar. I told her to just keep pressing forward because from personal experience I know things always Always get easier! It may take time but it will get easier. She gave me a warm smile said thank you and I was on my way. My heart overflowing because for the first time in weeks  I was able to be an encouragement to someone else! I needed that as much as she did.

 So I went back to work and finished up. I was on my way back home still thinking about the lady and was able to praise the Lord that that morning I was able to fill up my gas tank to full and not worry because Scott had just got paid. Our van was completely empty but I didn't even have to worry one bit about filling it up.

I got home and the house was calm and still tidy thanks to Scott. We knew we had a lot to do that night as we needed to plant our garden and still eat dinner. So we got the chicken ready for Scott to grill and I finished the rest of the meal with sides. We were able to eat and get down to the garden and start working on it before the meeting. We hadn't been able to plant because the rain had been so much a any day we had wanted to think about it the night before had been a down pour. So we got a lot done before the meeting but still had a lot of it to do. After the meeting our plot advisor got our group together and told them they were going to help with our concrete jungle is what she called it. I thought that was cute. Before I knew it they were all on there way and they were breaking up the dirt and putting seeds in the ground. My job was to tell them where to put the seeds and label stakes for the ground so we knew what was where. We were finished in no time. We had amazing advice on what to plant where to plant it and how it would grow. Since we have never done this it was amazing to get the help. After we were finished my plot advisor walked up to me and said someone wanted to give you this so you can buy your tomato  and pepper plants. Wouldn't you know it $20!!!

See what God does. I gave just a little bit and the Lord provided for our garden in the form of labor and help and money even; for more crops for a later result of more food! How Great is our God. I just had to share the blessing of seeing God's hand in my whole day. I hope it is a blessing to you and that the Lord will show Himself in your life today! God bless!!!
