Another 5 Minute Friday topic
that God had me ready for.
When I made my favorite meal
I certainly didn’t expect this!
As I heard it fall I said
OH. MY. WORD!
But, because God had me ready,
I expected to see this His way.
I expected Him to show me something.
And He did.
He showed me that theme of the week, seeing,
had me ready for this mess.
Nothing profound.
Nothing super-spiritual in a mess of homemade spaghetti sauce.
Just Him helping me clean up with a different perspective.
When my expectation is in Him
He always delivers!
Hallelujah!

As we have experienced just this week He is a God of the unexpected! And living with expectation prepares us to accept His gifts. We are so blessed, and I am completely blessed by your words here. Thanks for sharing your heart, sweet friend! And for blessing our family this week.

I’ve got a big dent in my wood floor from dropping a mayonnaise jar. All the spills and broken things in our homes (and in our lives) can be reminders of a life well-lived, and a God who redeems all.

So true, Jennifer! Thanks for the encouragement. How’s it going? I’ve been “unplugged” for several weeks. Hugs to you!
