Blessings Galore

God has really decided to lay on the blessings recently.  We got our tax refund, which was directly deposited into our checking on Friday.  Dusty had talked to his uncle, who had purchased his grandmother's car after she died, and was going to buy it from him.  The uncle had initially gotten it for his son, Dusty's cousin, our good friend, but he didn't need it anymore because of a (blessed) job change.  Dusty talked to his uncle, worked out a deal and got the car yesterday.  Now we had two cars, a truck and my SUV.  Dusty was planning on driving his old car around with a for sale sign in the window until he sold it, just for publicity.  However, I knew that my neighbor piano student, who just turned 16, was used car shopping, and I knew she shopped yesterday.  I saw her mother was on facebook last night when we got the kids to bed, so I sent her a message asking if the girl got a car, and telling her why.  She wanted to know the details about the car, and after finding them out she made an appointment to test drive the car today.  The girl and her father came to test drive, and drove for over 30 minutes.  They came back and the father and Dusty made a deal!!  WOOOO!!!!  We are so blessed!  So here's the synopsis.  Got the tax refund on Friday, bought the car and spent all the refund on Saturday, sold the other car on Sunday!  God has truly blessed us.  The awesome thing is, Dusty was saying they kept talking about what a blessing it is for THEM!  She loves silver, and they've looked at a lot of cars, but nothing that was in the right price range.  They figured they'd have to finance it, and just have the girl pay them back.  Now, with this car, they can buy it outright and the girl can pay them back, and no one has to pay any interest.  It's the perfect car for a first car because it has a lot of miles, and is old, and can be wrecked without a huge loss.  She has already posted on facebook that she got a car and can't wait to drive it to school tomorrow.  Blessings all around.

This morning's service was so wonderful.  The music service was beyond fantastic.  I just sat and cried during the choir's special.  The sermon was from a guy from Jews for Jesus.  It was about Christ in the Passover.  It was incredibly enlightening and eye opening.  I'm looking forward to knowing more about it.  Great day.  The past few have been really good.  I keep thinking about Chris Rice's song that asks, "Why can't every day be like today?"  I guess it takes bad days to make these days seem so good.
