This fall my two youngest daughters have started new schools - Carissa at Purdue and Kimberly at Rossville High School. Both girls have had their moments of anxiety and excitement. But it is so amazing to see how God is showing His love for them in what could be considered the "little" things. Let me give you one example.
Yesterday was Kimberly's first day at her new school. All day, at the weirdest times, I sensed an invitation by God to pray for her. So what a wonderful thing it was to see of relief and a bit of excitement in her eyes when she got home. As we sat on the couch and I listened to her tell about her day, I couldn't help but comment about the kindness of God she had experienced! She even won a Monster drink because of getting the highest score on a quiz in one of her classes. How cool!
My girls aren't the only ones who have been gently reminded of God's care - I have walked away from the past week with several reminders:
1) God cares about us - even about things we might consider small - if it touches us, He cares!
2) God gives us the privilege of bringing our concerns to Him
3) God wants us to leave those concerns with Him and let Him handle it as He sees best
4) God ALWAYS brings about His best (not always what I might want - but what I need)
5) I need to remember to say "thank You" to my loving Abba!
