We've had our couch/sectional for a little over eight years. We purchased it when we lived in Hawaii in 2001. We loved that couch. It was so comfy. Everyone who sat on it never wanted to get up. It was one of those couches that sucked you in.
In the past year and a half, it got more than enough use. With the home fellowship, and numerous people sitting on it at one time, it's had alot of wear and tear. It was so bad, that on one part, the support under the cushions broke. Whoever sat on that part (which for some reason everyone did), it would sink more and more.
My poor couch.
Last year, we were thinking about buying a new sectional, but we thought we'd wait another year since there were other things that were more important at the time.
Well, I guess God felt that it was important NOW.
A friend of ours called my husband and I, and said that they wanted to bless us with a new couch. They felt that the Lord put it on their heart to bless us since ours was literally on it's last leg. Of course, we were like, "What, really??" They told us they had been looking online, and found some that they thought we would like. Sure enough, I loved it right away, and chose the color I wanted.
This was last Tuesday, and the couch arrived on Friday. That quick! Talk about a blessing. We love it, and are so thankful for it as well. They told us to consider this a love offering, and let me tell you, we feel the love!!
The amazing thing is that my husband was praying THAT DAY about a new couch. I don't remember what his prayer was exactly, but I know it wasn't, "Lord I hope we get one today and I hope someone blesses us with one." I think it was just more along the lines that we would be able to get a new couch soon.
Gods timing is always perfect!!
