He Cares About the Little Things!

Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you. 1 Peter 5:7

God is good: All the time! All the time: God is good! I type this a little slower than I've typed before! I now have a bandaged finger, bulky with white gauze- in the way of my typical home keys- This finger now boasts being able to strike 2 keys at once! Its humility comes from striking the wrong keys! haha!

Three days ago, I decided, while slicing cucumbers on my mandolin- that it wasn't working right, so I reached my hand past the safety guard, and off went the entire layer of skin from my finger! Yuck!

I frantically searched for my phone, and called my friend and cousin Shelly. No one I know well lives terribly close to me, so despite having 2 children under 2, I tried her- she's a nurse. Typically Shelly is at home at this time, boys napping, cookies in the oven... But today was different!

Shelly and her mother-in-law, Beth, were actually less than 15 minute from my house, just paying for their items at Children's Place. She came right over! She was so gracious, and Beth was able to stay out in the car with the boys while Shelly came in to see the trauma. She took checked on me and then called doctor who sent me to the Emergency Room. After a short discussion, we decided to go to an ER different than where I might usually go. Beth took the older boy, Jacob, home. Baby Benjamin came with us. He was so good in the ER!!!

The nurses were so sweet! We were the only ones there! The nurses told us how unusually empty it was that day!

I was sheduled to take a meal to my other cousin ( Beth's daughter) that evening before a meeting I had scheduled. Prior to the injury, I just felt like I should cancel the meeting, so I did. But I still had the meal. I had made the baked ziti earlier that day, so it was ready to go- just didn't have any cucumbers for the salad! ;) So, as we drove back Shelly called Beth to check on Jacob, and who was at her house? Her daughter! So all I had to do was drive Shelly back to her car (we drove mine, so Beth could take Jacob back to her house) - and drop off the meal there! God is so good! He had every detail worked out! A perfect timing in line at Children's Place- Shelly said that after she got in line, several others lined up behind her. Perfect timing and an empty waiting room and we picked the right hospital!! Rebecca being at Beth's house, so I could give her the meal, without making another trip! ...and I'm sure there are more! But just trust in Jesus! He is so good, and He cares for you!
