Being reminded that God still works

I was about to let this thing drift away again, so thought I had better post something, fortunately there is something very special to say.

Mary has dreamed of going to Iceland since she was a teenager. I have known it, but the years pased by and we never made the trip. When I realised that 2018 was going to be our 40th anniversary and her 60th birthday I decided that this was the year.

But when I looked at the expense of an Iceland trip it was stunned. Between flights, a car, and a place to stay we were looking at a vast amount of money. We technically had the money, but I just couldn't justify the expense.

I kept praying and the year kept creeping by. A couple of weeks ago a couple from church called by. They said that had come into a little money, as when they did the first thing they thought about was us and Iceland. They gave us a sizeable gift that would have covered the bulk of the expense so we decided to go.

When we contacted friends there they said they had a room and we could stay with them. Not only that, but they had a car we could use.

There was no doubt. We are going to make the trip and cost will be minimal.

Then at work yesterday I was talking to the coordinator about missing that week and needing to make up the day later. When I looked at the calendar I saw that I already was scheduled to work an extra day the next week!

It was amazing to watch God work all this out. He does still work.

I need to take His lessons and apply them to the rest of my life. As I look down the road at our ageing years I fear because the way the economy and house prices went we were never able to buy a house and now we are too old.

But, God still works. He will do what He says for our future.

For me to think less, especially in the light of things like this, is to choose to call God a liar.

Thanks God for 'helping my unbelief.'
