Beginning each morning thanking God for another day of life helps believers realize how lucky they are.
We have a new chance to get it right.
To start over and make a difference in the world.
To touch someone's heart or ease an aching spirit.
When things like that happen, some people call them "God winks."
Recently, I envisioned a pretty doily on a table in the apartment living room.
Wouldn't you know it that at a church yard sale this weekend, I found a really beautiful, hand-crocheted doily.
All I could think of is how lovely it was and how many hours of work went into its creation.
How amazing it came to my attention when looking in a box at the sale.
That, I believe, is a God-wink!
Washed and even starched, the doily's price was 50 cents.
Thanks, dear Lord. And, thanks, too, for another day of life.
COULD YOU SHARE WITH US A GOD-WINK YOU HAVE HAD LATELY?
I had a lovely pedicure yesterday with my favorite color . Coral. That was my God wink.
ReplyDeleteThis is a great post. This is awesome that you found the perfect doily for just the perfect spot. God loves to give us desires in our hearts. A couple of weeks ago, I was desperately looking for a paper that I needed. I had looked for what seemed most of the morning. I just stopped looking, sat down and ask God to please let his favor be with me. I began looking again for the paper, and as I looked in a file for the second time, there was the paper. God gave me a big wink that day.
ReplyDeleteOh, this doily is so lovely that you came across at the yard sale, Susan. It really stands out on your table. I'm always amazed when I see crocheted doilies, as the time spent creating them is so special. Your lamp looks really pretty sitting on there also. Isn't that wonderful that you have been thinking of a doily to put on your table, and then one day you found one! And I love your words.....also, it's good to recognize when the Lord gives us even the tiniest of our desires.
ReplyDeleteWell, the other day I was concerned about this or that, and a dove flew right on my lawn. I felt the Holy Spirit was with me. And guess what? As I'm looking out my window right now and typing, a dove flew on my lawn again to say hello this morning. : )
Have a good week ahead, Susan.
