God's plan for our family dinner

Dear Family,It's been too long since my last entry. Anyways, as I continued to read the book Prayer by Philip Yancey; the thought came to me as I realized how God actually arranged our dinner last nite. As Abigail had indicated a wish to eat out as a means to have a break from her studying and we know she has made the effort to study with more discipline and this has also impacted on Amanda who now is getting into the groove of really studying/revising. I would like to say "Both of you are doing GREAT! keep it UP!"Now onto the gist of my sharing -As the afternoon wore on and even after fetching Abigail for ballet; I was clueless on the 'best place' to take the family for dinner. Then, I decided to just try checking through the internet; and thought I found an interesting place - 130E Minden (the name of the place still eludes me since I was mostly concerned about the food and how to get there) BUT it started pouring and since it's an open dining place I thought oh... guess will have to consider plan B. Even as I picked up Abigail and rain came down in sheets... it was difficult to drive even slowly!  As we got home, then the dripping in Abigail's bathroom caused concern and 'delayed' us, and Abigail took a slightly longer time as she changed into a new/nice outfit to enjoy dinner. BUT my faith in having a nice dinner was fading even as I said a few short prayers...SO we finally set out; STILL uncertain where to go but I noticed the rain slowed to a little drizzle... anyway, despite a discussion and suggestions and counter suggestions in the car; I made the decision to still go to 130EMinden failing which we will head to Great World City.OK, even when we got there... there was still doubts whether the place was still there/operating since the phone number was 'not in service'.FINALLY, as it turned out, despite the initial 'shock' that it's mainly a burger place with only other options being fish and chips, steak and a single pasta dish... we had a nice dinner together, enjoyed our mocktails and even managed to get a few laughs from the huge screen football Goal Fest programme that was running.PTL, only now, i humbly realize and acknowledge God's plan and hand in our family dinner outing last nite. Blessings and Love,dad xxx
