The Small Things Given by His Workers

God moments happen all the time. Sometimes almost without notice, but always just when you need them. Sometimes, you get to play the part of the angel, offering a small blessing to a friend, family member, or even a complete stranger. Other times, you are the recipient of the love. Today was one of those days.

It's been a rough road the last couple weeks, filled with physical, emotional and even spiritual challenges. All the time God has held my head up and kept my eyes on Him, but only by His grace. It wasn't until today that I started to feel the weight of it all and let my spirits drop slightly.

It was then that God lifted my head high.

There was a fire drill at work today and we all had to leave the building. I was on break at the time, and nowhere near my desk. This left me as one of the unlucky few who couldn't grab their coat on the way out. I walked outside and began to shiver as soon as I stepped outside. I walked to the back to meet up with my section and my boss ducked out of the crowd behind me and slipped my jacket over my shoulders. On the way out he had grabbed my coat, (which wasn't really on the way exactly). It's the forethought and the intent that made the difference, not just the act and the care. It took some genuine compassion and extra effort. It was a great way to see God in authority.

I came home today tired, worn out and still, in some way, feeling the same edge and sadness that I felt earlier in the day. I took a moment to chat to my dad and he told me their was something on my desk he "found" at work and thought I might like. I went upstairs to find a piggy bank. My dad, knowing how I love and collect pigs, saw this and thought of me.

The simple things can teach us so much about the love of God. They can do so much to change a bad day. Do you acknowledge these things? Do you make an attempt to facilitate these special moments?
