Surprise!

You may remember that one Sunday we were given some very nice keyrings and on them was a black metal cross and a small metal plate with a text written on it. When I got home I put the car and house keys on the new key ring so that every time I used the keys I could read the text and be reminded of the love and faithfulness of God.

After locking the car the other day I put the keys in my trouser pocket which also had my handkerchief in it. Now it was one of those hot days and now and again I would use my hanky to mop my brown and even blow my nose. Later on, returning back to the car, I removed the keys, unlocked the door and drove home.

This may all seem a bit boring, but try and stay with me and you may be encouraged like I was. You see, the very next morning I sat on the side of the bed with a great decision to make – do I put on my right sock first or the left sock? When your knees creak a bit it gives you those sort of thoughts. Then I stopped and remembered writing a few weeks before, about inviting God into your day before we do anything else. Immediately it put into perspective the sock decision. Did it really matter and, to be honest, I just got on with it and I can’t remember which sock I put on first anyway!.

So there was I with my socks on standing beside the bed with a crumpled duvet and my trousers hanging over the end of the bed frame.

But then came the bit that surprised and encouraged me, because there, laying in the folds of the duvet, was my little black cross from the keyring. I guess somehow it had became detached from the keyring, got caught in my pocket during the day, survived my hanky being pulled out several times and ended up, presumably having fallen out of my pocket, on the duvet, waiting for me to discover it in the morning.

All this may seem like domestic trivia to you, but to me if was a reminder that God shares His great love with us and wants us to know He is with us all the time.
