Small miracles

Last night at work was another frustrating night.  Everything I did seemed to work out wrong--I dumped over a pallet (thankfully a small one), splitting the pallets (this is the process of separating 2 pallets that are stacked atop one another) was nothing but troublesome.  And every time I would start to make progress on the mounds of work I had, I would have to stop for another delivery !!  The last straw came when I had to open a truck and put up the dock plate.  Of course the plate decides it doesn't feel like working properly.  GRRRRR!!!  The darn thing did not want to flatten out.  Now I was going to have to take the time to find someone to help me.  So of course in true Madeline fashion I complained "God can You just let something go right tonight!!"  So one more time I tried the plate, and yes, you guessed it, the thing worked just fine.  A small miracle in my book !!

Now, I know this may not seem like a big deal.  But it's just these small miracles, these little helps that make up so many God visits of our day.  And it's these that I think we so often miss (I know I do).  I really want to see each one. I want to notice every time God shows up in my day.

Lord, please open our eyes to Your care for us, both in the big things and in the small.  Thank You for loving us and taking care of us each day.
