One thing I have marvelled over in my adult life is the fact that no matter how much money a person has, its never enough. We make a decent living now, but we still have to budget to pay our bills. I've seen millionaires have to budget to pay their bills... Such is life! [sigh]
When Christian and I were first married we would not buy gifts for each other at Christmas time because we spent all of our available money on our families. We celebrated Christmas January 25. It was great. Everything was on sale! It was much more private and personal. However, after we had children we felt that they should be a part of the traditional part of Christmas and that's when we started exchanging gifts on December 25.
This one particular year, as it happened, we did not have enough money to buy gifts for our children and our families. One evening as Christian was balancing the checkbook he said a prayer, "Lord, if we had just $200 dollars more we could have a decent Christmas." That prayer was made late on Saturday night.
Sunday morning I was doing my "job", which happens to be my passion and calling, and I was leading in worship. God's presence moved through that auditorium in an awesome way. (It is truly such a delight to be the Music Director at Souls Harbor, they are so ready to praise and worship God.) Anyway, a man walked up to me after service and said, "While you were up there singing this morning I thought, 'that's a $200 song!'"
Right there on the spot he put $200 in my hand!
When Christian says, "Sing it, girl." He ain't kidding!
