"...go down to the lake and throw in a line. Open
the mouth of the first fish you catch, and you will 
find a large silver coin. Take it and pay the tax 
for both of us." -- (Matthew 17:27)

When I finished filling out my tax return last night, I was dismayed to see that instead of a refund, l owed the IRS $106.  Today, a friend came over and asked me if I would be willing to accept a gift she felt the Lord wanted her to give me.  It was a small bag of money she had been adding to each time she was blessed in some way. When I totaled it all up, it came to $114.50, and the above Scripture popped into mind.
