It's a God thing...

Today we headed to Thurmont to see AJ and Stephanie appear at Food Lion's Customer Appreciation Day. They performed their different routines in baton. Abby sat on my lap while we watched. The girls did real well. I can see AJ improving each time and Steph continues to do well. While we were there a Catoctin Zoo rep was handing out free passes for adults and kids. I asked for 2 adult and 5 kids to give to a family I know in the community. Then I thought about Scott having the girls this weekend and how much they love animals. Chris went to see the guy about getting some passes for his family. I asked him to get another adult and 2 kids since I realized I had one extra (kids under 2 don't have to pay). Abby was holding our passes. She would hold up one at a time and we would look at the animals. Then I would hold them and pass them back to her one at a time. John even took a turn. We did this numerous times with me growling if it was a leopard or making monkey sounds if it was a monkey. We had 2 adult (passes were blue - this will be important momentarily) and 5 kid passes (which were yellow). I heard the man tell Chris he only had two adult passes left, but plenty of kid ones. Chris took the 2 adult and got 5 kid ones. (Adults for he and Desiree and then 3 kid tickets for their girls and 2 kid ones to give Scott.) I told him it would be OK - I would just give one adult pass to the family - maybe just the Dad could take the kids and the Mom could have some rest time. Here comes the God thing - get ready. Abby gave me the tickets as a group which were now all mixed up - could see two blue ones in different spots amongst the yellow. I went through them to count out the number for the family and the ones to give to Scott. I took 1 adult and counted out 3 kids for Scott. Then when I went to check the tickets for the family - I suddenly had 2 adult and 4 kids - just what I needed. I immediately looked up and said it is a God thing. John, Abby, and I had all handled the tickets one by one and there were only 2 adult tickets. I looked at John and said you know there were only 2 adult ones and he nodded his head. I looked at Chris and John and said IT IS A GOD THING. Then I looked toward Heaven and repeated several times - Thank you, God ! How awesome a God do we serve... Thank you Jesus for a wonderful day, showing me once again you are in control, and with You nothing is impossible ! I love you, Lord.
