God and his sense of humor

My husband and I started on a new venture back in September. He started his own business. Lawn and Irrigation specialists of Knoxville. September is NOT the ideal time to start a lawn business but we did. Things were great in September and October but as expected the winter months were very slow. At the first of the year we got several contracts for the year which was very exciting. Mark tried to do the work on his own because, since he hasn't has a paycheck since, well we won't go into that, but let's just say it's been awhile, he knew he didn't have money to pay employees. Well one of the contracts is a very LARGE neighborhood which requires manpower so last week I talked him into to hiring some guys. Well the first payday rolls around this Friday. We have been waiting for a check since March 15th, you know the old saying "the check is in the mail". As Friday fastly approches and still no check, i have been in somewhat of a panic about how we were going to pay these new employees. I have been checking the mailbox everyday but coming up empty. So this morning as I was getting ready for work, I said a prayer, "Lord you know we have payroll to meet on Friday, please let that check be in the mail today". When I got to the post office today and opened the box, to my surprise there were checks in there. No not the large check we have been looking for but instead several little checks which totaled exactly what we needed for payroll on Friday. As I stood there looking at the checks I thought to myself, God must be standing up there laughing at me. Because while he knows we really really really WANTED that BIG check, we really really really NEEDED to meet payroll Friday and he provided for us just like I had asked. Isn't our God amazing? Yes I think so!! Your Father knoweth what things you have need of before you ask Him. Matthew 6:8
