Our Own Hanukkah Miracle

I recently posted this on a yahoo group in which I participate.  I thought my couponing (or lack of it, lately) would also be a good place to post it.  I originally posted this on Friday, Feb. 18.

Ladies,



I just really want to share something the Lord has done in a venue where it would be appreciated.


I was thinking of pasting it on my FB status but would be afraid people would take it too light-hearted.


Recently, we have had major money issues. That's not the miracle part.


My husband didn't get paid until today, so we were facing over a week with literally no money in the bank. In fact, he had to miss a day of work because of no gas. Not working when you need money is not ideal.


We've been praying. God did not send a might miracle to remove us from our circumstances. We went through ever minute. He did do a miracle none-the-less. It's almost like our own Hanukkah miracle.


Last Thursday, I KNEW for a fact that we only had enough food to make it through the weekend. Monday tops. I'm sitting here this Friday morning with a testimony of not only being able to feed my family for the weekend, but clear through this week.


Nay-sayers may think, "Well, you were just creative with what you had." You betcha, I was much more creative than I'd ever been before when it comes to food and that in part is the point..."more creative than I'd ever been." God provided us with the food to last and provided me with ways to use it to make the most of it.


I don't know what God has for us. But after a year when we've really been beat-up on so many levels, it was a blessing to see His Hand perform a personal Hanukkah miracle.
