I'm trying to look for God's hand in my day more. I know He's there, but I'm not very careful at seeing his handiwork in my life, especially during a regular busy day. So today I saw Him:
I've been using a daily prayer chart for the kids for years -- some times better than others. Today I prayed for generosity for the boys, which was timely because DH mentioned to me on his way out the door, "Hugs needs to work on not being selfish today." Tonight, as I was putting Giggles down, he wanted a puppy dog to cuddle. He doesn't have one. I started to tell him that we could as Smiley for one, when Hugs runs in with one of his puppies. Right there! He just gave one to Giggles. When I talked with Giggles later on and that I'd prayed for him to be generous, he said, "Hmm, I guess I was twice today. Once with the puppy, once with Smiley when he wanted to play with one of my planes."
Life is all about baby steps and I'm thankful for God's presence in this little movement forward. |
