So we had a dinner party here at our home this past Saturday and invited a few couples from church that we wanted to get to know better. I was preparing for the evening last week and getting the table ready. I have a favorite spring placemat set that I got 15 years ago when I was living in my first townhouse. I still LOVE the pattern on it but the only problem is that I only had six of them. Our dining room table used to be smaller- now we have a table that seats 8. I thought, "Oh, how nice it would be to go to the store and pick up just 2 more of these placemats so the table would look complete" but of course with it being 15 years ago, there is no chance it is going to be sitting on the shelf at the store anymore. Likely the pattern has been long discontinued...
But then the Lord dropped it into my mind to check on Ebay. So I typed in "Liz Claiborne placemats"and to my astonishment, there were 3 Liz Claiborne placemats sets available and my beloved pattern was one of them!!!!!!!!!!!! I couldn't believe my eyes!! And to make it even more overwhelming..I looked at the name of the pattern and can you believe it was: ANGELA. No way!!! And the set came with 8 placemats PLUS a runner!!!!!!! 😲
I believe this was a miracle of the Lord and it shows me how much God cares for me and the little things in my life. It bolsters my faith knowing that if He cares enough about the placemats at my dining room table He mosts certainly cares deeply for the people sitting around my table and all the more important things in my life!
God can do anything He wants to in our lives. He can create something new out of nothing. So don't be discouraged if something is missing in your life, broken or not complete. God can provide!
"With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible" Matthew 19:26
Blessings on your day!
