God is our Provider!

Well, its been a couple of weeks since the storms came through and snapped our tree in our backyard. We were stunned because we so don't have the money right now to pay for a tree to be removed from a place we are trying to sell. The first quotes were $650, $500 and then finally we had an offer of $450. So we prayed that God would provide and He did! I had miscalculated the checkbook and found $125 to our favor. (gotta love it) Then the very next week Scott got an extra $200 on his paycheck, and a dear friend had sent me a $25 check a few weeks ago as a late baby present (or as she put it just extra money for us to put on the electric bill or however we need it most.) Well we put all these things together and believed it was the way God was helping us pay for the tree. Scott scheduled the appointment and when he asked if the guy would just cut it down and cut it up for us and let us haul it away the guy said sure that he would do it for $350....well, go back and total those amounts....$350! God is our Provider and he rewards those who earnestly seek Him. Thank you God! And the tree comes down.... They brought in a bobcat to help tie off the tree and pull it down. It was great when it came to moving the big logs too. The boys loved every minute. We popped popcorn and it was better than watching a movie. This stump was cut in half and the rest of the tree was chopped up for firewood. So glad all that is over!

I am so happy everything worked out and the tree is down! The pic of the boys eating popcorn and watching the action is my favorite!!
