    An Unexpected Blessing-Praise God!!!!

    God works through mysterious ways, and His thoughts are not my thoughts.  He sees the heart and knows my most private dreams.  God is so good, I don't know what I did to deserve this unexpected blessing.  I was just being kind to an elderly neighbor, helping him find homes for household items after his wife passed away recently.  First he had said, 'make me an offer I can't refuse' and I said I would have to talk to my husband about it and get back to him....Well, on Christmas Eve he called me and said he had talked to both of his daughter's and neither of them wanted it, so he was GIVING it to me for Christmas. WOW!!!!! So my husband says how could he say "no" to me, and the Saturday after Christmas, another neighbor helped us move it to our house.  I am so excited and THANKFUL!  Last time I had a piano, was in 1993.  My Mom made me take lessons for 11 years as a kid, and I learned to love playing the piano.  Praise God!!  And I am praying for my elderly neighbor- we have witnessed to him but he has had a bad experience with "church" in his early years and can't get over it, yet...so maybe some of you can help us pray him into accepting the LORD!!

    God is SOOOO good, all the time.  Thanks for your comments.  My friend wants me to play for the women's ministry meetings but I am way out of practice.  As a kid I took lessons, but only classical .  The last piano I had was back in 1993, and I had three kids to care for so didn't spend much time with it.

    Shasta,
     
    If you can, just practice what the Lord gives you to play, and yield your heart and fingers to the Holy Spirit and enjoy what He plays through you.  It's like riding a bike - it's not lost, it's in there.  God created us better than any computer out there.  You can do this. Accept the invitation as something that God has set up to bless you and keep going.
     
    Love you,
     
    In Service of The King

    For the eyes of the LORD run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to shew himself strong on behalf of those whose heart is perfect toward him.

    Thanks everyone for you comments.  I really appreciate your encouragement.  I have been practicing what music I do have, and recalling a favorite song from memory.  It is fun and I enjoy it!
