God's Unexpected Blessings

It's short and sweet tonight.

I wanted to tell you about the coolest thing that the Lord did for us today. My wife and youngest son headed off to the bowling alley, as they do almost every Saturday morning. Once bowling practice began, one of the coaches pulled my wife aside and said "I've got something for you."

When my wife and son went along with the coach, they began discussing a bowling ball and bag that were brand new and were recently purchased and donated by a citizen in the senior bowling league. It appears that this donor purchased a really cool Shrek bowling ball and matching bag and simply wanted to make a child happy by donating the items. My son was chosen out of all of the kids in league, to be the recipient!

After paying the $35 fee in the Pro Shop, the ball was drilled out to match my son's hand and was declared ready for use. What an unexpected blessing from the Lord! My wife and I had discussed bowling balls and bags before, but shied away from them due to their hefty price tag. How great is God's favor and provision!

Exodus 3:21 (New International Version)

"And I will make the Egyptians favorably disposed toward this people, so that when you leave you will not go empty-handed.

Good Night
