THE LITTLE THINGS! Either God really, really loves me... or my home is bugged... A few weeks ago, I mentioned to Sean, in passing, that I needed to buy a few things for myself, but I never got around to actually doing it. Not because I couldnt...I just either kept forgetting or kept putting it off. Not to mention, I am really, really bad about paying full price for stuff for me at a real store...too spoiled by thrift stores and clearance sales!! Anyway...Lo and behold...I ended up receiving an invitation for an online survey from one of my regular survey companies, about the same things I had said I needed to buy. Then they sent me not just one, which is the norm, but TWO products to try (and keep) of the exact same things I had said I needed. You may be wondering what in the world that surveys product sample has to do with Gods love... Well, its like this... I have seen God do some amazing things in my (why-yes-Im-still-young) lifetime. Stage 4 cancer...gone!! Blind eyes opened, not just once but twice!! And not just to some person halfway across the country that I didnt know, but to my friends!! My husband, who was told hed never be able to work again due to an injury on an oil rig before I met him, healed of debilitating back pain, and has been working ever since...and usually much too hard. :) BIG things. GREAT things. AWESOME things. These things, I know, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that Gods got His hand in, and how He proves His love for us over and over and over again. But... when I come across a little thing like that product sample...something that I knew I needed, but it was such a minor thing that even I couldnt be bothered to remember it or go out of my way to take care of it...and then suddenly it shows up in my mailbox?? Those are the things that take my breath away and make my heart swell with the knowledge of just how much God loves...not just us... but me. How He cared enough for me to arrange for that email invitation, at that time, for that product...even if it was just to make me smile that day when I opened the box and saw what I had been sent. The great big things...sometimes they are so amazing and so grand that my brain can understand the love behind the acts, but my heart cant really process or fathom them... But a little thing...something that no one else in the world would care about but me...and God took the time to notice? That? That blows me away! Im including a link of the David Crowder band song How He Loves, which I just came across, which has some additional preaching mixed into it. I have no idea who the man is or what he believes ...but I do know that what he says about Gods love resonates within me, so thats why I am sharing it. :) youtube/watch?v=iUUmhnOPBdE God bless my friends...and remember...God loves you just as much as He loves me! Find joy in a little thing today!
