A New Family Member

For some time now, the Lord had been speaking to me about adding another bird to my flock. I already had four and felt that was my limit. However, the Lord continued to speak to me about an additional bird, but was unclear about who, what and where.

Meanwhile, I've been aware of a family who received a cockatiel as a gift by a couple who bred her. The name given to her was Enoch. Wasn't sure if they realized the bird was a female but they liked the name because of the Bible character.

Over time, I had visited this home for Bible study which met weekly. I had been drawn to this bird that looked like she could use some enhancements to her habitat and would offer suggestions. I brought treats and maybe even a toy or two on occasion. But I soon learned that the bird would be finding a new home. I was saddened a bit but knew it was probably the best move.

So I offered to take the bird. Here she is in her new setting. She has settled in very nicely. She really loves her swing and her treats! Her name has been changed to Sweet Pea, and what a sweetie she is! 🐦





Shoe ❤️

Saturday night at work at Ross Dress For Less, I was recovering women's shoes and facing them all out to make it easier for shoppers to look through. I came across a couple pairs that appealed to me but I never set them aside to purchase. I thought about how I already have more financial obligations than I can handle at the moment.

The following morning I thought about the shoes and wanted to go visit my store and look for them. Instead, the Lord prompted me to visit another store in Daly City. He apparently had a pair of shoes reserved for me there. I stopped at the Colma store first and found nothing of interest before wandering over to Serramonte Center in Daly City where the other store was that the Lord was directing me to.

Sure enough, it wasn't long before running across the pair of shoes the Lord hid for me though they were in plain sight! They were a size 8 and I usually wear a 7 1/2, but they were the only pair there, and they were on clearance. After some hesitation, I resolved to buy them. I got them on clearance and with my employee discount. It was a significant savings and with an insert in each toe, they fit comfortably! Praise God for His infinite love! 💞
