Learning through a Move

Today, I moved most (not all) of my stuff to Magnus' place (which will be our place in 13 days - yikes!). It's an interesting choice of time to move in this area - many people finish finals and then bolt, many more are simply working. The night before I knew of two extra people who were going to help (outside Magnus and his parents). I was thankful, but knew it would be a long day with the move. I prayed for more help, but had no idea if anyone else would come.
Then the morning came, and God just gently brought people to help at the exact right time. I think what especially touched me was that it was some people I really did not know well, but who just were willing to pitch in (one came via a phone call and when he found that there was a need, he just showed up!).
After it was over - and over much more quickly then I expected - I was just thanking God for his grace. That's all I could attribute it to, his abundant grace poured out in this move by drawing people to help and encourage us through the process.
What a precious blessing to have a God who cares about the everyday details of our life - who knows what we need before we do and prepares the way before us.
