Greetings Dear Reader,
I have mentioned the
difficulty this week and I want you to help me gather gratitude over its
resolution. I will unfold it for you and
show you how the pieces all fit together to form the Father’s pattern of
provision. What must be the focus is the
knitting together of circumstances that faith forms into a fabric of care.
The day unfolds like this; the difficulty was a major breakdown of the car I am meant to drive to Wisconsin this week. Transportation that is dependable and available is something that is important to me. When it is not available it troubles me at a deep level. I have never understood why but it is true.
I called my dear
friend Jason and he immediately offered to take my car the long distance to the
repair shop. Within an hour of the
incident, the Father provided free transportation of my car to the dealership. The dealership said that it would likely be a
two- or three-day repair but the soonest they could take in the car was Saturday. Jason assured me this was fine.
From Tuesday to
Saturday I wait. In the meantime the
Father provided for my transportation needs.
When Jason comes to take me and the car for the repair his delightful
wife Misty is with him. We drive to the
VW dealership and they tell me it will be a bit whilst they assess the
repair. We are directed to a diner where
we have an amazing breakfast.
Andy, my repair guy calls
me to say that they have found the problems, they have called in a second
technician, and that the repairs will be done by four that day. He explains that had I tried to drive to
Wisconsin in the state it was in the car would have broken down on the highway. I offered to let Jason and Misty have their Saturday
and I would wait at the dealership.
They had already
planned to include me in the remainder of their day. We went to visit some of their family, had astounding
Southern food, and I was able to get to know new people. By four my car was repaired and ready. More importantly, I was able to forge a
deeper friendship with people that I love.
Even more amazing, I
gained insight into my weakness in faith relative to my car. As I gather the patches of gratitude from
yesterday, I see that the Father worked everything to show me his love and
providence. He was there in every moment
knitting together and providing. Those
individual patches of provision weave together into a day of gratitude for the
love of my friends and the Father. That,
Dear Reader, is a beautiful way to be covered from the storm.
Wishing you joy in
the journey,
Aramis Thorn

Christ’s rule of the universe is like a homeowner. He liberally hands out new
and old things from his great treasure store.”
