God's Goodness To A Single Mom


For the Lord God is a sun and shield; The Lord gives grace and glory; No good thing does He withhold from those who walk uprightly.
Psalm 84:11 (NASB)

Reading this Psalm, I am reminded of the goodness of the Lord. Years ago, when I was a single parent, my daughter was concerned about all the financial issues I was facing with putting her through college. One day she said to me, "Momma, when I finally graduate from college I am taking you to Europe." 

Well, tomorrow I am flying over to see her where she is currently working in Brussels. She is taking a week off to take me to Paris, Amsterdam, and London. Tomorrow we both see the coming true of a promise made years ago. You see, God was listening when that young lady made a promise to an overworked, tired, and often broke mom. His goodness will follow me all next week as He travels with us to see new places. I think He will also be smiling, don't you? As my husband says, "God likes to show out." 

Thank you God for listening to my little girl all those years ago and helping her to fulfill a promise made to her momma. Oh how You must love us!
