I am amazed how many times someone knocks on our door to give our family a gift. This past week God provided our family with a bag of zucchini, a beautiful wooden multi-game set, an anonymous gift of $100 and enough lemon pepper chicken (with side dishes) to feed our family of 9 for three or four days. Yes, I said (typed) nine. My wife and I have 7 children and it takes allot to provide for our family but God is always faithful to provide us with what we need and even more so. We've been married 15 years and from the beginning we decided that Catherine would stay home and raise our children. This wasn't a easy decision as she earned more money than I when we tied the knot. Still we were confident that the Bible is true. Every word of it. Within its pages it says that God will provide and that a wife should stay home and raise her children. Thousands of unsolicited gifts have been given to our family since then. Thousands of times God proved Himself more faithful to his promise than I believed Him to be. I am deeply moved at this. I feel I should keep record of these gifts less I forget them. I also want to show to others that God is not a liar. He keeps His promises. It's a safe bet to trust in Him for he never breaks his promises.
My plan for this blog is to make an entry of every unsolicited gift that comes to our family.
