Icescraper...

One day last summer I was cleaning out my van and came across my icescraper. I threw it away thinking that I would get another one when winter its. Well, basically I was taking advantage of something as simple as a $2.50 icescraper. Along with that I was not being wise with my money. I know you are thinking it is only $2.50 whats the deal? Well... winter came and I was trying to be diligent with my money and would not break down and buy a icescraper. The weird thing I would by a $2.75 white chocolate mocha without blinking an eye. I was on my way to get a coffee and the Lord spoke to me "How can I help you with your finances when you wont help yourself?" Wow that was powerful to me. Yup you guessed no coffee that day. Iam still in need of a icescraper and everytime I went to buy one the Lord said "no". I have been using a broken melted down spatula to clean the ice of my van windows. Telling myself I just need to break down and buy one. Then the Lord who is always faithful and forgiving {I have bought some coffee since that morning he talked to me.} provided a icescraper for me. My credit union was having a grand-opening event and one could win a prize . I won a car pack which include a c.d holder, tire gauge, sunglassed holder, sun shade, and yup a icescraper!! The Lord is so good he made me realize not to take advantage of things that I have and to be wise with my money. To be thankful for the little stuff and to take care of the things that he provides. In thinking back I can see a the little and big things that God has done for me and my family we are truly blessed.
