God’s Planning

I just want give a praise report.

Even though I’m 70, I still don’t have the self-confidence I’d like to, and so was nervous about being at least half responsible for my daughter’s bridal shower. I prayed a lot, but there were one or two nights when I kept worrying that it would all fall apart.

Well, the prayers definitely worked, and it went off beautifully. I only have God to thank, and the maid of honor and another friend of my daughter’s. The groom’s mom was also very supportive. I just can’t believe how well it went, even the weather. A week earlier, snow and rain had been predicted. Instead, we had a pleasant, partly sunny day.

Afterwards, there was a dinner at a Mexican restaurant. Not all the people from the shower were to come, but I had reserved for 20. When I arrived at the restaurant, I was about to tell the waiter that it had changed to twelve. Then two young ladies showed up, saying, “We made it, after all.” So I told the waiter, “Table for 14, please.” Even so, there were two empty chairs. Then I found out that my husband and the other dad were going to be coming, which I had not known. So we had exactly the right number of chairs.

I have never liked to plan social things, so I consider that the Lord orchestrated everything to work out. For days I was amazed at how well things worked. Thanks be to God!
