A cool God wink

I am sharing this for Spiritual Sunday.

This may seem trite--but it is the little things God does that make me see how intimate He can be. I had a tiny old pocketbook that I loved because it just fit my phone and my credit cards/money. I realized this week it was just too worn and shabby to be wearing around. Sooo I looked in the stores and on Ebay , but I couldn't find the kind I wanted. I saw some that I could make do with on Ebay. BUT I knew there was going to be a big yard sale for CAP (churches assisting people---they help out people by giving food, paying utility bills etc). So I thought I will wait and see if they have anything! I doubted it....but I was trying to save and find the right one.
I saw some napkins and as I was about to pay for those , my foot hit a box. I looked down and there were some assorted backpacks. I thought---"well, let me see what is in this box" .....AND WOULD YOU BELIEVE IT!! There was an all leather pocketbook that was an exact replica of the design of mine only better qualtiy (mine was fake leather) and it looks like it hasn't been used. I WAS ABOUT SPEECHLESS.....I just couldn't believe it and it was only fifty cents!!! YIKERS is God amazing or what!

  2. I know exactly what you mean. How many times I've looked for something in particular and within a short period of time, I would find it.

    A few weeks ago I was looking for a 'salt pig'...they are expensive if you can find one in a kitchen gadget store. I found one at Goodwill for $2.00...I could hardly believe it was on the top shelf just waiting for me!

    God Bless...Betty

  5. I love this story, Kim! You stopped, and listened to what your instincts were saying ... be patient, wait just a little while longer. Curious, I'm that way about needing a new key chain ... looking here and there, but nothing "feels" just right just yet.

    Have a beautiful weekend. Like Clif said, I love your header!

  9. I've had that happen to me...I would whisper, "Lord, please help me find...", and He did. I don't always expect Him to...but I'm always thrilled when He does. I think just as we parents care about our children's spirits, we also care about their every day joys...a little piece of candy at the right time can dry a child's tears, and a comforting talk and hug can ease the pain of a social problem at school. He is there in the big and the small...He cares about the details and the big picture.
    God bless,

  13. God is so good . He knows the needs and desire of our hearts. He would readily answer us without asking Him. How much more if we would ask Him?
    Beautiful story.
    A blessed day.
