This past weekend was just one of those very cool times of life. Beck and I took Jordyn up to Aylett to hang out and do some Bible Study with some of her friends from CBS and Humanities. The couple that holds the study live in an old Plantation style house and their property is just beautiful. We dropped Jordyn off, praising the Lord that our daughter chose to go to Bible Study on Friday night, and went to eat at a "suggested" restaurant....the place certainly looked nice enough and I imagine the food was good but when we looked at the menu we both just started laughing.The place was just way out of our price range so we quietly slipped out and laughed all the way to the car. We then went to the same place (Hound's Tooth Cafe) we ate at the last time we were up there and had a great meal at a reasonable price.
Then we went back to pick Jordyn up and that is when the unexpected blessing occurred...I stepped out of the car and looked up...stunning! Amazing! I stood completely enthralled at the sky. It had been quite a while since I had been out in the country on a super clear night. I really could not get over it! I know that may sound simple but when is the last time you could really see the stars with no artificial light affecting the view?
So anyway, we came home Friday night, had a great day Saturday just being together and making final preparations for today.
Then Saturday night, Beck and I finished our two-night Valentine Date off. Today, worship with our fellowship of believers was sweet as always. God is good. He really is! Money might be tight and the luxuries that we enjoy may dwindle but His blessings...the simple, but rich gifts that He gives, are the best anyway.
Next time you get a chance, look up and marvel at the incredible artistry of His creation...and look at your family and praise the Lord for His priceless gifts.
