Humbled by God's Grace Through Friends

Yesterday we were surprised and humbled by the grace shown us through some friends. A colleague of mine at work and his family came over in the evening and brought dinner that they had prepared for us. Understandably we have been out of a regular routine over the last three weeks, so this was a very, very nice gift. Delicious chicken bruschetta, a salad and some bread. Awesome!

(Although Kendra has been cooking and juggling all these other amazing things during this transition, it was such a joy to not have to worry about dinner for a few nights.)

What was even more humbling was that they also came bearing gifts for us and Joshua. Lavish, generous, special gifts. I was blown away. As I spent the evening pondering their brief "drive-by blessing" (they didn't want to stay too long since they were leaving for a vacation today) I thought about how good our God is. He continues to do EXCEEDINGLY ABUNDANTLY MORE THAN WE CAN ASK OR EVEN IMAGINE. He loves to give good gifts, directly and through others.

Thank you Lord.....and thank you John and Andrea!!
