We are getting the new roof. No charge.
We've needed a new roof for years. I've been trying not to be concerned about how we are supposed to be able to afford this with all of the other impossible expenses that we have to be able to afford: Hoping not-so-secretly for a "weather event".
Well, it happened. Big time hail. We get a new roof. The One that owns everything gave us a wee little piece of His endless resources before the roof totally failed, (it had been failing in small pieces for many years now due to lack of care when installed new). He is also allowing for the repair of the rotten wood at the door and holes in the siding that have been continuously weighing in the back of my mind.
I didn't realize how happy I'd be about it, but it's truly delightful. How good to feel this thankful.
Look at this verse, which is so real today that I can reach out and grab it with iron-fisted delight: Commit your way to the Lord [roll and repose each care of your load on Him]; trust (lean on, rely on, and be confident) also in Him and He will bring it to pass. Psalm 37:5
The roof is being rebuilt and my confidence in the Lord is getting reinforcement.
