Tonight Michael and I were able to spend the evening at the Monroe house working, thanks to Todd taking the kids home around supper time.  What a treat to be able to focus on our work without having to worry about getting kids fed supper or bathed or sent to bed.  (Thank you, Todd!)

Michael ran out to grab supper for us, and decided to try the Chinese place just around the corner.  We sat on the kitchen floor eating hot, delicious food, and eventually we made our way to the fortune cookies that are routinely dropped in the bag.

The first cooky fortune read, “You shouldn’t overspend at the moment.  Frugality is important.”

How interesting!  Just what we feel God has already been trying to hammer into our heads recently!  Hmmm.

Next cooky?  “A pleasant surprise is in store for you soon.”  That would be nice.

There was a third cooky, and of course we were curious to see what else was in our future.  So Michael broke the cooky open and read, “You will find your solution where you least expect it.”

What interesting words.  What interesting bits of encouragement.

So now we can’t help but wonder, does God ever speak to us through funky ways like fortune cookies?  God can use anything to get messages to His people, so we decided to just be encouraged and realize that no matter what, God is in control of our situation, we don’t know how He’s going to work everything out, and we certainly should be frugal.
