St. Patrick's Day Gift

March 17,2015

My wife Joy is about to leave for the Tampa airport when the phone rings. It is the admissions office at the Soldiers Home in Holyoke Mass. They have a bed for her dad, Walter. He has been on the waiting list for nearly a year.

"Isn't God great," Joy exclaims, hanging up the phone. "God's timing is perfect.

She's right. This week is the only time Joy would be in New England before summer. She was going to facilitate a women's retreat and had planned on visiting her dad in the rest home afterwards. Now she can move him into the Soldiers Home.

Thank you Lord. A prayer answered and on St. Patrick's Day not less.

"Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above." (James 1:17)
