I am thankful for two things today! The first is a silly thing, I suppose, but I want to appreciate the simple things. Around the 4th of July, watermelons were on sale. Hubby and I both LOVE a good watermelon and it is such a part of Summer. Hubby and I bought one and enjoyed it immensely. We planned to get another one before the sale ended, but the week got away from us. Since then prices have been back to normal and we have left the watermelons in the store. I understand why they are priced as they are after trying to protect them from cut worm and squash bugs and I figured we had enjoyed our watermelon for the season. On Sunday, we had one of our dear friends over for lunch ... he brought us a watermelon as a hostess gift. Then on Monday, hubby came home with another watermelon. It seems that the farmer that they were cutting silage for gave each of the workers a homegrown watermelon ... WooHoo! God provides are needs and some of our wants.
We have also been praising God for consistent work on the farm. In early June, we wondered if Chris would need to find more work due to a lack of tasks on the farm. He has had a full week every week except one and this week He has already had 52 hours in only 4 days of work. The dry weather has been hard on my garden but it has been a blessing for work. Often corn is not cut here until the end of August and early September and hubby misses out on the extra hours because he is back in school. This year they are cutting early. Praise the Lord for His faithful provision.
Awesome, the wet weather up here is causing problems in our garden, but God's provision is still great through our garden this year. Glad for God's provision for both of you as well.
