update on "i have this thing with finding eagles"
hello all!! this post may get lengthy, just a warning! and it does not have to do with a treasure one is able to hold in the physical sense. but this is a true story, and was today's find. now, at the risk of sounding childish (which isn't always a bad thing!), i'll give a background to the amazing (i think) thing that happened to me today. i believe that my first and foremost treasure is my relationship with Jesus Christ, afforded to me by God's amazing Grace. now please stay with me, here, even if you don't believe in such things, you may still find this story interesting. so, i sort of promised God that i would give back to Him monetarily the value of whatever i found in my metal detecting. that may sound silly, and i din't even know afterward if i was right or wrong in doing that. well, that eagle pommel that i recently found and identified only by the help of you (wonderful) fellow t-netters was the first thing valued at more than a few dollars. so last night i was thinking of where to give the money this morning at church. there are many avenues where i could have sent it, and many that i personlly feel worthwhile. not being able to decide where to give it, i asked the Lord to show me this morning where He would have me direct it. i was looking over the bulletin before church and saw that our special "Missions Moment" for Veterans Day was the Eagle Commission, for which we were taking up a special offering during the service. it is a ministry of chaplains in the military, something dear to our hearts as a family right now since we have a friend serving in iraq. well, i was absolutely blown away that i was shown so specifically where to send the offering. i know this is no coincidence, and i am even more happy to have found the eagle. thanks so much for reading!!
