Years ago my husband lost his job and I only had $10 in the bank at the time. I was worried because I only had a small bottle of medicine for my children and they were sick. I looked at the bottle, and based on what I had observed many times before, I guessed that there were only two doses left in the bottle. I figured I would need to buy more and that would take most of the $10 I had. However, since there was nothing I could do about it, I just went ahead and used the medicine as normal.
After giving one dose, I figured I must have estimated wrong. The amount of medicine in the bottle (which was transparent, by the way) had only decreased a little. I used the medicine several times over the next few weeks, though my kids' illness and through a teething episode. I used it about 5 or 6 times and the amount of medicine decreased by about half. I just assumed that I'd been wrong and didn't think anything of it until my husband got a new job.
The first time I used the medicine after my husband got a new job I drained the bottle. I was astonished. The same amount of medicine that had given me 5 to 6 doses when my husband was out of work gave me only one after he had gotten a job. I knew it was the work of the Lord.
I am grateful for the demonstration of love that the Lord gave me. I am still not certain why I was given this miracle. I didn't ask for one and wasn't expecting any divine intervention. I suppose He just wanted me to know that He was watching over me in order to prepare me for the road ahead of me.
