I had prayed and prayed for a specific vacation because anyone with a boatload of kids [little kids] knows that not all vacations are created equal.
If we were going to go - it needed to fit our family.
I saw an ad to for a vacation rental for a fraction of the regular price.
We jumped on it, and I have to tell you that God answered every.request.I.had.made.
I believe God loves to see His children work hard, serve much and play hard too!
Oh and that we did.
We ONLY played [and ate, but isn't that the same thing?].
I had prayed for a pool. A private pool. I wanted to teach #3 to swim.
I had prayed for a place where we would not be worried about neighbors. [we are a super
[Headed out to pick black berries. See no neighbors. :)]
I had prayed for a place that Hubby and I could enjoy spending time in God's Word.
Time with each other.
And just enjoy these children we have been blessed with.
Life can get so busy sometimes.
I did not want to fill our time with "to do's." The only "to do" was enjoy each other.
Soak up the very gifts God has given.
God hears our prayers.
For the big things.
And the little.
He is good.
He gives good gifts.
All good things come from Him.
