Packed and ready to go!

After 57 years of marriage, I can’t remember most of our wedding gifts. We received the customary china and silver. Yet, an inexpensive set of luggage holds special significance because the gift was from Mom and Dad. I think Mom may have redeemed several books of S & H Green Stamps to purchase the suitcases. My husband Norm was leaving his WNDR Syracuse DJ job to fill a position at WDDT, Greenville, MS. We'd need that luggage for the move.

My journey of faith had begun a few months earlier as I moved from unbeliever to Christ follower. God has provided everything I’d need.

"Grace and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord; seeing that his divine power has granted to us everything pertaining to life and godliness, through the true knowledge of Him who called us by His own glory and excellence (2 Peter 1:2-3 NASB)."

God knows better than I what I really need.

“Do not worry then, saying, ‘What are we to eat?’ or ‘What are we to drink?’ or ‘What are we to wear for clothing?’  For the Gentiles eagerly seek all these things; for your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be provided to you (Matthew 6:31-33 NASB).”
