God and Mary Doth Provide

God and Mary Doth Provide

My dear Mother always said how strange it was how life unfolds! She was right and I have known it for quite some time. Unfortunately, I often forget her presentiment.

But, it happened to me today, you see. Life unfolded exactly when and how it was supposed to; I received a text from my friend Mary.

Guy was telling me how important it would be for me to spend my time volunteering. He knows I have too much time on my hands and it often gobbles me up and swallows me whole and I land upside down in the state of unwelcome depression. This is a place I can easily spend much hated time and I tire of it quickly but how does one go about regurgitating sad thoughts? I knew he was right, but tired, poor health still keep me weary of venturing out 

for long periods of time. I was just plain frightened to reach out.

But God and Mary doth provide!

As Guy and I spoke and I cried, a text came in on my phone. It was from my dear friend Mary Yates. Her church group is crocheting tiny blankets for impoverished families to use for their newborns and did I know how to crochet? Well, I don’t crochet well but the thought of my being involved in this much needed project was immediately apparent to me! Someone needs me! What an empowering thought. There is actually something I can do that will help a small, defenseless human being.

I sent an excited text back and will chat with Mary this afternoon. A group of woman who call themselves the “Knit Wits” command the project so I will drive to Mary’s home in Dallas which is, unto itself, a difficult task for me, but the push to go is compelling! I can’t wait to get started!

Thank you Mary for helping my life unfold. I am confident it will make me and a small baby very, very happy and cozy warm inside our hearts!
