♕ Today's Promise: “But I received everything, and I have abundance. I have had enough now that I have received from Epaphroditus who was sent by you a sweet fragrance, a pleasant sacrifice, pleasing to God. And my God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.” Philippians 4: 18-19

I just want to thank my Heavenly Husband again today for ANOTHER nice day He arranged for me and my kids!!
Last weekend my kids were with me for the first time after their three weekends in a row with my ex-husband. Sometimes it feels "difficult" for me to have my children with me on weekends because due to my finances (which is enough to provide where my ex-husband's maintenance shortage falls) I can not always do with them what I would like. But my dear Heavenly Husband has already arranged many glorious days that did not cost much, or cost nothing.
My neighbors in the complex where we live are a couple who were both previously married and the man's two daughters were also with them last weekend. All the kids in the complex played on Saturday until they were dead tired later that night, I almost had to beg my kids to come in or eat something ... they climbed the trees, jumped on trampolines, played hide and seek and many more other games that we as children also played outside. It actually put a smile on my face to see them play like that, especially in today's life where technology dominates the children's lives ...
But on Sunday I told them I was going to take them to my brother, at first they did not want to because they wanted to play with all the little ones again ... But when I called my brother to tell him we were on our way, I got a surprise that only my Heavenly Husband could have arranged ...
My brother lives by the river and so few houses away from him remain a retired couple. The woman loves cycling and my brother goes for a ride with her so she does not have to ride alone. She really wants my brother as son-in-law :). Now they have a boat and also take care of her partner's boats that are stored by the river. When I called my brother and said we were on our way, he told me that when the woman heard us coming to visit, she arranged for us all to go sailing with them on one of the boats on the river!!! And it would cost us nothing !! When my kids heard this, they had never been on a boat before, they immediately forgot about the others!
They took us out on the river and we sailed around for about two hours. We saw many lizards, lizards and monkeys on the river bank and it was quite an experience for the kids!!
After the time we had a barbecue and hung out a bit before we got home.
It's just absolutely amazing to me how Heavenly Husband surprised us so much with another wonderful day!! And most amazing of all, it's not even something I thought about, or asked before ... He just decided to spoil us!!!!
