Tender Mercies

We have had an interesting week. Lynn ordered a pieceof 24 inch pipe to do a job. He was doing the paper work on the job as he noticed on the copy that wasn't a very good that it said corr. The piece of pipe he ordered and paid for was not corrugated. He went to his books to see if the pipe would work . He worked on it sat night after he had discovered it for quite a while. He went to his meetings Sunday morning and when I got home from Choir practice he was on the phone with the Inspector to talk through the books. They discussed it for over an hour and when Lynn arrive at church almost late he said that it was a relief it would work. When Lynn started doing his paper work again after church because he had to have it done before he left for his job the next morning, the numbers didn't add up again. finally out of desperation he called the Inspector back again (I'm sure the Inspector was not pleased) but they went through it again. Lynn felt really restless about it. As they discussd it again they finally agreed that the piece of pipe that Lynn bought was not up to spefications and that it would not work. It was like a big relief was taken off of Lynn. It is amazing to me to see the Holy Ghost work. When it isn't right it's like something is hanging over you. What a blessing to figure it out. I asked Lynn if we could send the piece of pipe back and he told me that he had called the first time and ordered the piece of pipe and had said the wrong size. When he called back to see if they had cut it they told him that they would just get him another piece and just put the other one on the shelf. It was such a blessing Lynn said he couldn't ask for a refund. I was a little dissappointed but I have seen the blessing in our life. Lynn knew somehting was wrong and he kept at it. The first time they had figured it the Inspector and Lynn both thought it would work but Lynn kept working at it till he felt right about it. If they had put that piece of pipe in they would of had an explosion. they would have sued us and who knows what else. I thought we would count our losses and eat the cost of the pipe and be thankful!!! today Lynn recived a call from another company we do work for and they want him to make them a vessel something with 24 inch pipe and the piece of pipe Lynn bought accidentially will work perfectly!!! the Lord knew what we needed even before we did. We are so very blessed!
