You can pick your nose and you can pick your friends, but you can't pick your friends nose!

So I have waited way to long to post this story. Sorry life gets busy and posting drops down on the list. They say that you can tell a lot about someone by being around their friends for a day. Whelp, I don't mean to boast about me in this, but I do mean to boast about my friends. A few weeks back one of my good friends walked up to me after church and handed me some money. He said the Lord spoke to me and wanted me to invest in your family a little bit. He said it is not much money, but take it. He was not aware of my family situation at the time. We were getting ready to take my youngest daughter (Riley) in to have tubes put in her ears. The cost to us on top of what insurance would cover was just over $1,000.00. The money he gave went to help with that. The Lord works in awesome ways! To be honest I think the gift was more about impacting my life than paying for a bill. I had to look at my time with the Lord and ask: Am I listening and ready to do what he asks me to. Am I ready to walk up to a buddy and hand him some money and say "Lord just wanted me to invest in your family". I pray that I can be the same kind of friend back.

P.S. Riley is doing great now with her tubes in. Everything went smoothly and she has had no ear problems thus far.
