God Speaks

My husband and I love to go junking. I have a list of items that I would like to purchase for our home and I am always looking for them. I'm cheap so I may find the item but not willing to pay that amount for it. I have wanted an antique telephone for about six years. You know the one you seen in the old Lassie shows. It hangs on the wall its wooden you crank it and it has the mouth piece attached to the wall unit and you pick up the ear piece looks like a cone. Well these phones in good shape are around $200 to $300, depending on the condition of the phone. About a month ago we were out junking for the day the first place we stopped at had a collection of these phones for sale. I would normally run over see how much they are but this time I just thought nope I'm marking that off my want list. Immediately the Lord showed me why I had put that phone on my list. I could see the day I stood in a girlfriends home looking at her's, I begin to covet her phone. When I seen that standing there I repented. I never looked to see how much the phones cost, we left and drove down the road to the next stop. We are inside this shop and everything is priced but one item you guessed it this antique phone. It was sitting in a chair really out of place. I looked at it there was no price really not with an interest to buy it because I was over it. It didn't have a price tag on it so I asked the owner how much. She walked over and said well, I know that I put a price on the phone and she just couldn't find it. She looked at me very strange and said you can have it for $50. I said, I'll take it. I laughed as we left the store and shared what had just happened with my husband. I am going to hang the phone in our barn room which is a guest retreat on our place. I'm going to hang a sign by it that says God Speaks "Repent". God is so good all the time. He just loves us so much. He is a good Father.
