Enough Manna for Today
Sarah and Addison came home together yesterday; a miracle in itself. Tonight Don and I are heading to the beginning events for our son's graduation. Actually Don is, right now, in bed trying to recover as quickly as possible from stomach virus. He hasnt had stomach virus in at least ten years - why this week?
I assume Sarah will, when she gets some time to catch her breath, right after she gets some sleep, catch you all up on what the situation is with this new precious baby girl. Until then I'm just going to go to today's events and not worry over tomorrow.
I've always been struck by the story in the Bible - the Israelites were told to gather manna for one day - not two or four or the week. They could only gather two day's worth when God ordered them to take a day of rest. I'm grateful to worship a God who knows we need rest. I'm trusting this week that God will provide the manna for today, and I'm not going to worry over tomorrow's manna. He is faithful and He will do what He has promised. That's a promise I can sleep on.
