The couch

" befriend your problems,.... you can even give persistent problems nicknames, helping you to approach them with familiarity rather than dread" Jesus Calling

This made me smile as the memory of a coach surfaced.

When removing a ratty old couch from the house I asked my boys to put it by the side of the road, in case someone wanted it.....you never know!

I began trying to make a plan to get it to the landfill. Call after call, person after person......

 dead end......FOR WEEKS!!

My couch continue  to set by the road, rain, sleet, and sunshine.

I massaged my ego, not to take it personally.

I would drive in or out of the driveway and say,

"Nice couch Lord!! Maybe I should put a tea cup on it with a sign to Come in and rest!"

"Hey Lord I see you still have that couch! And I would always end with..."I'm trusting You Husband of mine..to take care of this.

The couch was now water logged and it would need effort to move it

One late fall day while putting the gardens to bed, Kendall and Euni were stacking wood when Kendall ran to me and said "mom, you want that couch gone right? (I guess she'd forgotten and it had become just a part of our scenery!) 

She ran back to where she had come from and then a few minutes later came to tell me she had "entertained angels!"

Mom, two gorgeous preppy young men in a brand new van drove by and waved, but up the street they stopped and backed up

He rolled down his window and asked "are you getting rid of this couch?"

After the affirmative reply the two

Got out of the van

Flipped it like a feather into their van 

Waved and drove away

"Mom I think they were angels!"

Who would ever want that couch?

I smiled

My husband is so wonderful...sometimes it seems to take Him a while but His ways are so much better than mine

Thank You Lord for sending Your Men❤️❤️❤️
