It's only 10# of potatoes!
 
We have Marys and Marthas (M & Ms) tomorrow over the noon hour! The group is the proud owners of some pieces of leftover ham; it's in my freezer. I told the group last month that I would make scalloped potatoes and ham for the March meeting. I am cooking for about 25 - 30 people. Hard to tell how many people are coming for sure.
 
I don't know why, but I have been praying for a good price on the potatoes which I would be using. Potatoes seem to be a little higher priced this time of year. "Please, God, I would like to have potatoes be on sale for the M & Ms meeting!", I would mentally think over the past few weeks.
 
God gives us what we need and want, when we need it. Not before nor after. Two weeks ago, potatoes weren't on sale. Last week, they weren't. When I picked up our local paper yesterday, I thought, "I wonder if there is a special on potatoes this week?"
 
When I opened the eight-page colored flyer, there on page two: 10# bags of Russet potatoes - $1.99!
 
Could I have a paid a higher amount? Yes, if that was what God would have wanted! But He evidently wanted me to trust him for cheaper potatoes, a day before I needed them!
 
And an added bonus, which I ddin't ask for:  family-sized cans of cream of mushroom soups, which I use to make my potatoes and ham. Also on sale! A big size I could never use for just Jim and me.
 
God must have thrown that in as a bonus for my agreeing to cook for a couple dozen of my friends.
 
Thank you, God, for your generosity and your care. You take care of every detail of our lives if we just ask; and trust You with the answers. Thanks for surprising me with Your provision, and Your blessings. Amen.
