Hi Amy :)
Thanks! I’m with you. On line shopping is the best way to go. Have a cup a tea and shop. It keeps me from impulse buying also. :)

A Mere Happening?

READ: Ruth 2:1-12

In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths. —Proverbs 3:6

Huang, a nonbeliever, was a visiting scientist at the University of Minnesota in 1994. While there, he met some Christians and enjoyed their fellowship. So when they learned he would be returning to Beijing, they gave him the name of a Christian to contact who was also moving there.

On the flight back to Beijing, the plane encountered engine trouble and stopped in Seattle overnight. The airline placed Huang in the same room with the very person he was to contact! Once they arrived in Beijing, the two began meeting weekly for a Bible study, and a year later Huang gave his life to Christ. This was not just a mere happening; it was by God’s arrangement.

In Ruth 2, we read that Ruth came “to the part of the field belonging to Boaz” (v.3). Boaz asked his servants who she was (v.5), which prompted his special consideration toward her. When Ruth asked him the reason for such kindness, Boaz replied, “It has been fully reported to me, all that you have done for your mother-in-law . . . . The Lord repay your work, and a full reward be given you” (vv.11-12).

Did the events in the lives of Ruth and Huang just happen? No, for none of God’s people can escape God’s plans to guide and to provide.

I know who holds the future,
And I know who holds my hand;
With God things don’t just happen—
Everything by Him is planned. —Smith

A “mere happening” may be God’s design.

Good Morning (((The Mayor)))
I hope all is well. Thank you for your Daily Bread. I’m not here a lot lately but I always read! :)

Did you all get a lot of snow this past storm that went through?

Have a great day!

[GodBlessUSA]

Good Morning :)
I hope everyone is feeling well. Your posts are fantastic! We have been busy. My Coast Guard son has been home for a visit since Thanksgiving, but is leaving soon. It's been a wonderful couple of weeks having him home.

Have a Wonderful Day!

Kitty, your bird post with the snow is so pretty...thank you so much!

[jaycee]

Thank you, G.B., but I am still behind. After working too hard, I had to slow down and still have so much unfinished things I would like to do. I will do them if I can and if I can’t, I’ll have to accept it.

So glad your son has been with you. I know you’ve enjoyed this time together and are dreading for him to go. Time will pass and he will be back again!

[jaycee]

What a darling post, GeeBee! And I love the music. Frank Sinatra is the best!!
