This is a time sensitive posting.
At BJU two weekends ago, my family and I were waiting outside FMA for my sister to be released from one of her mandatory whatever-it-was. The boys were behaving appropriately (though they sometimes felt inclined to meander ONTO THE GRASS!) and having a grand ol' time. I was carrying Lincoln around, waiting my turn to see Danielle for the first time since January.
Under God's prompting, while the baby-bouncing was underway, my eyes glanced into a nearby trash receptacle, and I noticed a book that I had just seen a gentleman (an angel no doubt) carrying past us several minutes earlier. I hadn't noticed him throw it away. It was technical aeronautics textbook.
To make the short story longer…I posted the book on eBay when we got home. It's currently selling for $49 and has 17 1/2 hours left. You can follow it here.
Praise to the God who loves to delight His children in large and small ways.
The “angel’s” book sold last night for $75.
Yesterday in staff devotions, I was trying to remind my staff to be good rememberers. The Israelites were horrible at remembering God’s previous mercies to them. When we are good historians and good history rememberers, we will see the benefits remembering the small blessings laid out by God as He goes about supplying our daily bread.
I appreciate Sharper Iron linking this entry to their home page yesterday. It generated a ton of traffic on my little three day old baby blog.
