I am completely convinced that God cares about every little aspect of my life. Some might find this comical and completely unrelated or fabricated to fit my beliefs but so be it. Several weeks ago my husband and I were at the mall and for fun we like to go by the pet store and stare at the puppies in the window. On this particular evening we saw this little black puppy with one little white spot underneath his chin. He was adorable. He was the same “make and model” as our dog Lexie so we thought why not ask “how much is the little puppy in the window?” Well much to our dismay he was WAY over our budget and we had to walk away.
Since then we have been talking about getting an all black puppy to keep Lexie company. Last week I was casually looking at the classifieds. I called two ads in the paper saying that they had my “make a model”. One had what sounded like a beautiful little girl who was all white with gray highlights. I thought for sure we should go take a look at her. The second ad led me to Ft. Morgan where I found a little black puff ball with a little white spot under his chin, more than half the price off of the pet store. Needless to say we brought Toby home with us and now we are under assault of constantly cleaning up puppy potty messes once again!
I know what you are thinking this sounds too much like Chicken Soup for the Soul. I don’t blame you for thinking that. I am a little embarrassed to be relating me new puppy to the goodness of God. But I can’t neglect to give God the glory for all he has done for me. I look around and I see nothing but the very best. I’m not riding around in a Lexus or living in Cherry Hills but I know that the desires of my heart are being met but a very kind, giving, loving God. Who thinks I am the best and doesn’t mind showing me his love! This little random act of kindness on his part completely humbles me and shows me once again how great and loving my God is.
