Tonight, a woman in our church came to me and told me that she had been praying that God would show her someone about her size that she could give a couple of bags of clothes to. Apparently, as she was praying, I walked into the sanctuary and she knew that she needed to give me the clothes.
I thought she was talking about maybe a couple of WalMart bags or a couple of paper bags. Instead, she brought 2 trash bags over to our truck. You know, those BIG, black trash bags. The 33+ gallon trash bags. I was speechless. (and yes Mom, I did say thank you!)
All I could think was "Praise God from whom ALL blessings flow!"
As I sorted through the bags, many of the items were way too big for me. (YAY!!) But then, I came across some items that looked as though they might fit. Of course I tried them on and modeled them for Michael because he is sometimes my best judgement on how something looks.
I now have 2 new, dressy shirts and 3 new skirts. Just what I needed for this winter as I work on losing weight.
Praise God from whom all blessings flow.
Praise Him all creatures here below.
Praise Him above ye heavenly host.
Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.
Amen.

Wow! Such blessings! How exciting!
I just LOVE it when God does things like that! There's a lady at my church that gave me a ton of clothes recently too - and she said almost the same thing that your friend did. She had asked God who to give them to.
God is so good. Thanks for sharing it!
Yeah! What a blessing!
That is awesome! E-mail me your pant size. Maybe I have something I can send you. I will be cleaning out soon.
Love ya!
That's awesome! What a blessing for both you and the generous lady!
what a great day! It's funny - I've been hearing bits and pieces of the doxology in many different songs lately. And now you write it here.
But the words are so perfect - praise God from whom all blessings flow - HE provides!
That is so cool!!
