If

IF the weekend was four days way I would be ready. Or should I say hurry up and get here.
Or is it getting here too quick? I thought yesterday was Tuesday and I had one more day to get caught up. I just did not know it was Wednesday until last night.
Then it was "Holy Cow, You are kidding me, look at that table,".
(I am packing some of my crystal away. )
I bought bubble wrap and am preparing for a move. Hey you pray for rain, You should take an umbrella. Right???
So this is my umbrella, packing up.
But now I am pooped from yesterday. You read all the activity here.

Well the motor home is now fixed. One small electrical box, that cost $45.
Labor, HA !!!!!!!!!we wont even discuss. However the repairman did fix all the rat chewed wires.
So in reference to Shades of pink blog, I have a few ifs today.
If only we kept starting it weekly, like we were supposed to, the rats would not have done damage.
One big if is "If only we had not bought it."
Then I think, IF we had not bought it, we could not have served our friends in their time of need.
Clay was in the hospital, dying, Marie was going to have to rent a room or sleep in the waiting room.
She stood by his side day and night in prayer. Always believing, always trusting God for healing.
We drove the motor home to Medford and left it with her for a month. That saved her a lot of money and we were blessed in our hearts being able to help out.
That is what friends are for.
And Clay, he came home with one less kidney, but alive. That was not supposed to happen, In fact one night she called us to say, they wanted to turn all the machines off, he was in a coma. She refused to give up. Within 24 hours he woke.
Now isn't God Good? He loves our tears and prayers, "Better than a Hallelujah sometime".

If we had not bought it, The trip to Mt. Lassen would not have been so memorable.
I woke with a full moon shining in my eyes. It absolutely felt like someone had turned a flashlight on and was shining it on me. I woke David and we lay there in amazement and wonder at Gods creation. We can have a lot of what ifs,but our ifs can become positive.
Such a small word for so much power.

SO I will begin today with a thankful heart, Thankful for all the IFS in my life, ifs that became a positive force to praise him in.
