Memorial Box Monday: Do Y'all Need A Stroller?

A few months ago, my little family moved from the West coast to the East coast. We lived in a hotel for 5 days and then moved into a cute little house God provided for us. When we moved in, we waited for a week for our stuff to finish being moved across the country. We used an air mattress our landlords lent us, but it had leaks in it so we were basically sleeping on the hardwood floor, my husband and I, with a newborn.

Our stuff arrived and we were so thankful for our lovely pillow-top mattress! However, we had left our car back West, planning to sell it. We had not yet bought a stroller either since this was our first baby and with the move and all, I guess I didn't think of it. After a couple days in the new house, it was apparent we were going to have to get more groceries (surprising, I know :) )!

Well, without a car or the motorcycle (when it arrived, it was unusable; now it is fixed), we resorted to walking the mile or so to the nearest grocery store. One of us carried Baby Zuzu while the other carried all the grocery bags back. My dad would probably call these "character-building moments."

On our way back from the store, once a lady gave us a ride which was God because as soon as we got home, it down-poured.

The other time is the time I want to remember as God's goodness to us...

We were probably halfway back from the store, carrying baby and food, when suddenly off to our left on a side street, a woman's voice called out to us in that Southern drawl, "Hey! Do y'all need a stroller?"

We smiled and said, "Yes, we do." And she said, she drove past us, and the Lord spoke to her telling her to give us her stroller. She said, "I'm a Christian." With that, she opened the back of her SUV and pulled it out.

Ever since then, we have enjoyed the use of this lovely stroller God gave us.

I don't have a Memorial Box yet (oops), but if I did, I would put a toy stroller in it! :)
