DETAILS.

#1. OK. So It’s time to send tax receipts in a Christmas card for this year’s supporters.
#2. I happen to have a couple of hundred leftover cardstock calendars that someone surprised us with as a donation. If you fold them in half, they make beautiful, large cards. They are personalized with a thank you inside from some of the ranch kids.
#3. Uh oh. Do they even make envelopes this big? Should I try to make the envelopes out of paper? I have one month. I’ll just find some.
#4. Forgot. One week left. OK. Gonna forget about it and go take a break in Louisville with a couple of friends.
#5. We are leaving Starbucks and one of them hands me a bag and asks, “Could you use these?” Inside are a couple of hundred red, very large envelopes. My mouth drops open. She had no idea. Of all the outrageous things to hand me…
#6. Well, with a tiny bit of trimming, they fit perfectly. Slip a donation receipt inside and we’re done. Just in the nick of time.
Coincidence? NO way.
Provision. Even in the tiny details of running this ranch.
Details are not trivial to God. He wants me to daily be dependent on Him, not to fret, and look for Him to blow my socks off.
I love my Lord. He has such a sense of humor.
Huge red envelopes? WOW.
“…for your Father knows exactly what you need even before you ask Him!” Matthew 6:8
