Everything we need

We got a phone call today from our neighbors who live behind us. Owen's good friends with their youngest son.

He was almost apologetic, noting that it was kind of a unusual thing, but he asked if we would have any need for two twin mattresses for the girls.

Whoa.

Remember how a mattress for B was specifically one of the things that we had told the kids (and anyone reading this) that we were waiting for? Our neighbor did not know that. ;) But God certainly did.

What I did NOT share on the blog the first time was that earlier that week Owen and I had been in the basement pacing out some of the layout of his and Krassi's new bedroom. He's hoping to create a bed in the space under the basement stairs, but really wants to keep his bunk bed so he has an extra space if he has friends sleep over. (Krassi's in the bottom bunk - the upper bunk would be open.) I told him we were already short a mattress for B, and we were NOT planning to purchase a mattress just for sleepovers. I also shared with him at that time that Daddy and I were counting on God to provide the mattress we needed for B, and it was the right thing for us to do to tell God that we wanted (not needed!) another one for Owen's room, too.

It delights me that not only did God give us two mattresses, but he gave us two at the same time, to make it obvious to us that he heard our request, and decided to not only give us what we needed, but what we wanted as well.

God is so good.
