*Newsflash* This just in.

Earlier this evening we bought and installed a new (3 year old, slightly used) refrigerator. Mother and Daddy have been looking for a new refrigerator, hoping this would be the year for it to happen. We got our other one when Randy was a tiny baby! That was over 22 years ago. After the installation, Mother said , "I was talking to the Lord the other night about how we needed guidance whether to buy a new refrigerator. ‘The garage refrigerator never gets cold enough in the summer and gets too cold in the winter to use very effectively. It seems sensible to replace the garage one with the indoors one, but we don’t want to use our own sense, but be guided by You, Lord. We don’t want to spend any money that we shouldn’t on this.’"

The very interesting thing about this transaction was the timing today. Daddy said, "I had finished my reports on last Friday’s work, and needed a ten-minute break to clear my mind before starting the new jobs. I checked email, and then went on Craigslist trying to find things that Tim and Brenda might need. The refrigerator ad had JUST been posted. I quickly sent the link to Mother on email. She happened to be online working on a document and noticed a new email had come. She checked the link and called the guy about the refrigerator. He was willing to have us come after work today."

Daddy also said later, "We have space restraints for our refrigerator; it has three walls around it, and a shelf above. We have had our measurements of the hole in mind while looking for a fridge. This refrigerator had the exact measurements! Another wonderful thing is that it has an icemaker! We have never had one!"

It was an amazing sight as the whole family (except Beth, post coming about this) worked to unload the food out of the old fridge, take it out of the hole, wash it, unload the new one from our truck, bring it into the house, wash it, flip the doors from left hinge to right hinge, put it into the hole, plug it in, reload the food, and take the old one outside. All this in about two hours!

We are so blessed to get just what we wanted and needed for half the price! Thank you, Lord!
