We were low on socks for the kids. REALLY low. I had mended the old holes multiple times (I have a rule that once something is repaired thrice it's trash.). I probably mended them more than my rule, that's how badly we needed socks. Yet alas, there was no cash for new socks. Yup, I know it would cost about $4 for 6 pairs, but we didn't even have that. But then a curious thing happened last week.
My Mom stopped in for a visit and some Good Earth Tea (so good you don't need to sweeten it). About a 1/2 hour after her departure I went out to organize Blue Lou (my car) and I found a gift bag chock full of various sizes of athletic socks. "Mom!" I think as I walk back into the house holding the precious bag. So, I sent a e-note of thanks to her......"Not me!" she says. Hummm.
Later that day as I'm telling the kids the story Joey pipes up and says "You mean you didn't buy those socks, but they were just in your car?" "Yes" I reply. Then he exclaims "Then they are a miracle. From G-O-D."
Yes, here at the Lewis household we believe in angels, even ones that deliver socks!

Yes! And AMEN! Don't forget you're going to post part two of your away trip! :)
Yeah, yeah....tomorrow....I've been trying to settle my brain as to how to tell the story.
Wow. That is soooo awesome! Your kids will know that God is REAL and be able to point to things like this as proof. He really does meet our needs and know them intimately...even down to the socks. Love You!!!
"God cares about the little things." This is what I have been telling the kids a lot lately. What a great example of God's provision and love. Thank you!
This is my favorite. Such a good reminder that God cares about our hearts and our feet!
