TN PRIME RIB

Boy, did God answer a big prayer for our family. For years now, our youngest daughter Beth and her husband Derrick have had to commute every day from Murfreesboro to Brentwood. I know that a lot of people have to do that, and I commend them for it. It was not as difficult until our granddaughter Maddie came along 2 years ago. They were driving about 2 hours everyday and most of the time Beth and Derrick drove separately because they needed their cars for their jobs. After picking Maddie up from preschool around 5:30 or so, she would be hungry and they would have to stop and get supper before the drive. They averaged getting home around 7:30 or 8:00 most evenings.

They had been praying for a long time about selling their house and moving closer, but with the economy, and the way housing was, nothing happened. FINALLY, in December they not only sold their house, but bought another one closer to work. Talk about praising the Lord!!!

They moved in about 2 weeks and have settled in pretty quickly. In the first week they had painted most of the house and had the cabinets redone. The house is smaller than what they had so they downsized considerably...but really seem to be enjoying it.

This is one of those times that you know everything works according to God's plan. He was working out all the details of the house they were going to buy, and when everything was ready, it all fell into place.

Isn't that the way God always works? We get so impatient and want things to work out in our time frame, but He knows what is best. I am just thankful that this chapter of their lives is over!!!!
