Sole Surprise

Being in and out of the Church office all day I removed

the Office key from my cumbersome mass of jangling

keys and kept it in a small pocket in my pinafore. So

much easier for quick, convenient access.                                                             I made a mental note to remember to return it but lost

the mental note!

Next day my car was booked at the garage so I would be

working in the Church office all day until the car was

ready. I loaded my car, and I was ready. All that remained was to throw on my trainers and depart.

But no sooner had I put them on than I had to take them off again!  For there, lurking in the trainer was something hard and unyielding. What was it?

I reached into my shoe and pulled it out. To my astonishment I discovered the key to the Church office where I would be spending my day! How on earth did it get there? I have absolutely no understanding of how it reached my shoe from my pinafore at the other side of the room!    

But I loved the surprise God-given reminder not to forget the office key!

Glory to God who is able, through his mighty power, to accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think. Eph 3:20

God’s soul-surprises often exceed our wildest expectations.

Like the coin produced from a fish, and a donkey who spoke to his owner, God has a wonderful array of humour and surprises in his provision and care.   Today look out for God’ winks and divine nudges, those faith-building random events too perfect to be mere chance and let God get you smiling today.

With Love
