I want to praise and thank my wonderful HF (Heavenly Father) and my amazing HH (Heavenly Husband) for answering my prayers in miraculous ways. For the last few months, we have faced many hardships financially because of the economic crisis in my country. Everything has gone up about 5 or 6 times or more in price, especially food as well as fuel, gas, electricity, water etc.
Because of the economic collapse, my EH's (earthly husband) business also suffered and he has not even got a proper salary for the past few months. Because of this situation, the majority of people in my country have had to cut down especially on food. So we also had to cut back to some extent. Although my elder kids are able to understand the situation and never complain, my younger ones find it difficult to adjust to. So it has been hard for me also to be unable to give my kids some of the things they like to eat. However I knew the principle of giving and would share what little I had with those who had nothing whenever the Lord put them in my path.
The situation in our country seems to keep going from bad to worse and every week, the prices go up. God has always provided for us and I know that our HF is a generous and loving Father who always gives us every thing we need when we seek Him with all our hearts. (Matthew 7:9-11) So although I did not worry, I asked the Lord to be able to give my kids some nice special things to eat.
Today I want to thank and praise my sweet Lord because of the amazing ways He answered my prayers. The other day, one of our relatives was going abroad for some time and wanted us to come and take some food which she had in her house, because otherwise it would go waste. When my EH (earthly husband) brought back the stuff, I was filled with thanksgiving because not only does God give us what we need but also the things we want and like. Now my freezer is full of chicken and seafood and special things like bacon and ham which are very expensive here right now and which I have not been able to give my children for a long time. Also we received a whole lot of other food items like cheese (which my kids love and is a luxury now), margarine, sugar, rice and various sauces etc. My kids were shocked and so happy when they saw it all; they could hardly believe it!
I also thank God that I was able to share with them how good our HF (Heavenly Father) is and how He provides for those He loves while they sleep. (Psalm 127:2) More than anything, I am grateful to my Lord that He hears our every prayer and that we can come to Him with anything; nothing is too small and nothing is too big for Him! I love you my sweet Lord! All praise and thanks be to God for His goodness! He is always true to His Word and always keeps His promises!

GOD IS A GOOD AND GENEROUS FATHER.
"So do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ .........your heavenly Father knows that you need them. But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well." Matthew 6:31-33
WHEN WE KEEP GOD FIRST, EVERYTHING ELSE FALLS INTO PLACE.
"It is useless to work so hard for a living, getting up early and going to bed late. For the Lord provides for those he loves, while they are asleep." Psalm 127:2
INSTEAD OF WORRYING, JUST TRUST IN HIM LIKE A CHILD.
"Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap."
GIVE WHAT YOU CAN EVEN WHEN YOU HAVE NOTHING MUCH TO GIVE.
