i was looking at my razor the other day (which i will say that i LOVE these razors) and just thought...hmmm...i have been using the same razor blade since before Christmas. that has to be a record or something. then i thought, "you know what God, i think that this is just another thing to be thankful for. these things are soooo expensive and yet here i stand, almost 60 days of use w/the same one and it has yet to dull. so maybe, just maybe, You allowed for me to get the very most use out of it, so that i would not have to go and spend money for new ones. thank you Lord." i think the last time i bought a package of razors at Costco was well over 6 months ago. that's crazy. i felt so blessed for such a small detail in my life. i'm glad i noticed because truthfully, God deserves credit for all those small blessings. i think our lives are made up of these small things & it shows me we have a God that overlooks no detail. when we may think it matters least, together these small blessings just might stand to be something great if we will just acknowledge God's glory through them. maybe there's something small you are overlooking that God has done and today would be a perfect day to start thanking Him for it.

that's awesome. it reminded me of what happened yesterday. two of the girls in my class were in a car accident on the way to school. our principal went to pick them up and brought them to school and when they arrived in my class they began to break down in tears. what in the world was i supposed to do? it didn't take but more than a moment for me to slip off my uncomfortable shoes, ask them to sit on the pillows and let me read them a book. before long they were laughing at all the funny things the "cat in the hat" did. after it was over i was able to share with them about how God protected me in my accident and how he protected them in theirs. i showed them my scar on my head and gave them hugs and that was the end of our bonding time. they made it through the day and i thank God for allowing me to go through that accident because it lead me to the teaching job i have now and let me minister to two girls in my class who i know don't know Jesus as Savior. thank the Lord for working through the small things to make life worth while.
So true...by the way, I love a good razor as well!!
