Thankful Thursday

I am so thankful my Father knows my needs. I think I know what I need but I am so often wrong. He knows, He provides.

This week I've been battling with needs and wants. I thought I needed a patio set for outside. I want to invite people over this summer. (You need to understand our kitchen is so small we need to move a chair when someone comes in the door. No I don't have a dinning room either.) To me a patio set would be the ideal way of having friends over. See to have friends over you can sit 4 at the table and the others sit around the living room. I want to enjoy God's outdoors. I want to have friends over. As I was making my list of reasons I "wanted" at patio set I didn't have any needs listed. It was all "I want".

So God opened my eyes to the fact the money does not need to go to a patio set. I have needs that must be met and we are not sure what the summer finances will be like so a patio set will be taken off my "I need" list. If I'm to have a patio set God will provide it.
