God's Providence


Monday we randomly started looking in the paper for a truck for Chip. His car has not had air conditioning for a few years now. Plus he has started cutting a few yards in our neighborhood. He literally walked the lawnmower down the street the other day. That is just too embarrassing in my book. So, we found one and went and looked at it. It seemed great. We agreed on a price with the owner. We were thinking we would just take the money out of savings and put it back when Chip's car sold. The next morning I put his '97 Accord on craigs list. It was sold within a few hours for the exact price we were paying for the truck. So, Chip took the cash from his car and paid for the truck. It did not cost us a dime! Plus, he now has AIR!!!

What an awesome story! God is good all the time and all the time God is good! I'm so glad Chip has air. I'm afraid we are in for a very, very hot summer. Moma
