Short Thank you note

Luke 18:28-30 Then Peter said, “Look we have left what we had and followed You.” So He said to them, “ I assure you: There is no one who has left a house, wife or brothers, parents or children because of the kingdom of God, Who will not receive many times more at this time, and eternal life in the age to come.”
Oh, how I am reminded of the truth of how this verse is definitely working in our life. Yesterday, I could not remember what I had done with my wallet. Mind you there is not a lot in it but everything that is in it is very vital to us here. One of our dear missionary friends (Karen) said a prayer for me and in 15 minutes Donald found it in the car floorboard for where it had been all night and that day and by God’s grace it did not fall out when the doors had been opened several times that day. Today we received our vehicle after 2 weeks of waiting for it to come in on a ship from Japan. Everyone had told us that the cars usually come in very dirty and would need a full going over by a mechanic, new fluids, belts and possibly tires. ( We learned from another missionary couple that tires are very, very expensive) but to our amazement the vehicle looks terrific and is very clean and upon Donald’s inspection it looks like the fluids are new and the belts also, and so are the tires. Thank you Jesus….these are just a few of the examples of what God has done for us every day since we arrived here in Swaziland. It seems that God is working in our lives just like the verse says. We have received so many blessings beginning with getting great “deals” on furniture for the house. This is my short note of thanks to he who makes all things possible and always holds to his promises. Diane
