We had $36 for groceries this week. In order to pay for our out-of-pocket costs of all these medical appointments and the upcoming IVF cycle, we have really been trying to stick to our budget, live solely on Surfer's income and save everything we can. The past couple of weeks we spent more on food than we expected, so we were down to $36 for the whole week. We did our best to menu-plan and stretch the funds, and we figured that we'd just get a few chances to enjoy spaghetti and have leftover lunches.
But God had another idea, and through His provision in this He reminded me that if He cares about our food needs, He surely cares about our longing to become parents.
Surfer went to work today and found out that he has two free lunches and one free dinner coming his way at work this week. Tonight, our neighbor, Chef, told us he was going to throw away 5lbs. of gnocchi and we could have it to freeze, if we wanted it. He then brought us a beautiful plate filled with roast vegatables and beef. And then, his wife, Barista, brought us 4lbs. of Starbucks coffee because they didn't have any more room in their kitchen for coffee!
Forgive me, Lord, for making You too small in my eyes.
