Cast your cares on him

Here's an embarrassing window into my life as a Mum, which hopefully will uplift your spirits as it did mine, today.

I've lately been trying to pray about anything and everything as the bible tells me too. Because God cares.

Mediocre as this is, I was quite disappointed about losing a nappy bucket lid in the massive winds last Monday. (Yes, I know, I have a very boring life, such are my daily disappointments..) But regardless, I asked of God "Please return my lid to me! I don't want our house smelling like nappies, and I only just bought that bin..."

I was expecting God to answer this prayer with a "yes" and for the lid to turn up one day as I meandered through the streets of Glenmore Park, but in God's infinite wisdom, he knew that by the time that happened, it would most likely be perishing in the heat. So he returned it to me today. To my front drive, in fact. At the end of today's strong winds. It was just sitting there as I looked outside waiting for a friend to drop by. I did a double take. Could it be? Yes it is!!! Thanks God!

So never buy into the lie that God only cares about "big" stuff in our lives and to spare him the rest. God's mighty shoulders are big enough and He's longing to carry all the mundane disappointments and trivialities of our fragile hearts.
