I arrived at work today to discover a card, sent to me by a lady whose friendship I have really appreciated over the last few years. Her encouragement and kindness, her smiles and hugs. As I read the card this morning I appreciated the thoughts contained within and I wanted to share them
they are taken from a book written by Fraces J Roberts
"I am the Lord thy God
I know no limitations
I know no lack
I need not reserve my stores, for I always have a fresh supply
Thou canst by no means ever exhaust my resources.
Let thy heart run wild
Let thine imagination go vagabond.
No extravagance of human thought can ever plumb the depths of my
planning and provision for my children.
Rejoice, therefore and face each day with joy, for I have planned
ahead for thee, and made all the necessary arrangements and reservations.
I am thy guide and benefactor
PUT YOUR HAND IN MINE"
It wasnt until this afternoon that I fully understood the timing of her gesture. This afternoon I have found myself going back into my bag and pulling out the card and re-reading these words again and again. God knew that I would need these words today, so 2 days ago he prompted my friend to send me this.
I'm reminded again how a simple prompting from the Lord can be so powerful for those who receive.
No doubt I'll look at this card a few more times before the day is out.

It's funny you should mention how nice it is (and how uncanny the timing can be!) when we receive something from someone.
Shirlee reminded us a few months back, when someone comes to mind make the phone call or send a card straight away... it never ceases to amaze me how God's timing is perfect, even if all we do is shove the card in our bag for later!
