Last week, the very day that I made a financial plan and actually took action on that plan, I got a card in the mail from Tiffani and John. It was a thank-you card for "all the help with the girls" I gave Tiff the past few weekends I went to visit them. Now, as I told Tiff, my spending as much time as possible with Taylor and Hannah is my main goal when I head north so really, no "thanks" is necessary... but I certainly appreciate the gesture! And I am happy to "help" with the girls anytime!
Along with the thank-you note, Tiffani and John sent me a Target gift card. I was so excited to receive this for 3 reasons...
First, it's always nice to know you are appreciated (even if the "help" you gave was mostly for selfish reasons, like playing with your nieces).
Second, as I mentioned, the thank-you note and Target card came on the very day I started my new financial overhaul, and not knowing if my expenses exceed my income at this point, I don't exactly have the financial freedom to go to the grocery store and stock up on whatever groceries I want for the next two weeks. This gift card will feed me (don't get me wrong, I wouldn't have starved, but this allowed me to buy food without having to find a place from my budget to get the money from).
Third, if any of you have met Tiff, or have even heard me talk about her, you would know that Tiff LOVES and totally notices and appreciates the little things in life. And as I expected, she was so excited to hear of the divine timing of this thank you note and gift card, how it was such a blessing to me and that it came at a time that I really needed it.
So "thank you" Tiff and John!

How sweet! And you're right, great timing! That's always nice!!
first of all, how sweet! it's amazing how God knows just when you'll need a nice gesture like that!
and second, i totally know how you feel—when your income out is more (2 times, 3 times more) than your income coming in. it is a scary, worrysome place to be, but as i have been through that dark valley, let me tell that THAT'S when you start to realize how God provides EVERYTHING for you. and you'll start to appreciate even the little things in life, like gas going down 5 cents right before you need to fill up your car!
i'm praying for you——you'll make it through!
Wow! That IS awesome. He truly does "give us this day our daily bread"
I have experienced that type of "divine timing" many times in my life, both in the area of finances and emotional support (someone calls and says, "I was just thinking about you and wanted to encourage you by such-and-such Bible verse). God is so awesome how He knows exactly what we needs - and when! (Some people think it's all coincidence and scoff that God gets the credit, but I believe He is the God even of "coincidence")
AMEN TO ALL OF THE ABOVE .....gyn
