Just Because He Loves

I was thinking today about one way God has been showing his power and presence in our lives recently. Our daughter, as I have mentioned before, has a pretty active Shepherd group as well as our Youth Group. Last month, there was a Shepherd group outing and Hannah wanted to go but was penniless. But, she ended up getting a babysitting job the day before the outing, and was able to go.

This month, we again faced the fact that there were some expensive youth things going on. It includes a really awesome event Hannah looks forward to going to each year. Again, there seemed to be no reason to believe she'd be able to go. She had no money and no prospects. But, just a couple of days before these events, she had an opportunity to work in childcare at church and to babysit again! Both were the DAY BEFORE she was supposed to pay for these events. And the money she made was just enough to meet these needs.

These are the moments when the timing is so "God", you just know that it is from Him. He is our loving Daddy and even when something isn't a "need", sometimes... just sometimes.... he says "yes" just because He loves us that much.
