Blessing

Hubby has never had a riding lawnmower. He has always WANTED a riding lawnmower. He really should HAVE a riding lawnmower because of his throat condition......(The more stenuous activity he does, the more inflammed his throat gets and closes up). We've just never been able to afford one so he has always used our push mower. A few weeks back, a guy hubby used to work with was getting rid of an old snapper. It needed work done to it, new parts etc, but said it should still be in good working condition. So hubby got a riding lawnmower for FREE!!! Hubby took it to a gentleman at our church who fixes lawnmowers. He asked how much parts would be, if it was worth fixing up, and sure enough....it could be brought back to life. Well, hubby then was laid off and there was no way we could affort parts and labour now.....bummer. Our God is good though!!! This gentleman wanted to buy the parts and fix it up for us FREE!!!! He was able to go and pick up today :) Thank you Lord for your goodness....

On a side note, I want to take a moment to praise hubby a bit publicly. It really is hard work for him to use the push mower to cut the grass. He always comes in the house wheezing and gasping for air because his throat closes up so much. Even through this, hubby wants to show God's love to others......we've had a neighbor who has been unable to cut grass because of a broken arm, and another neighbor who could really use the help. Without a second thought, he gets out there and cuts their lawns as well. I am so very proud of him and his love for others. I am so thankful for the man God has given me. I love you babe!
