Good day everyone!!!
It is still Summer here and I haven't given over to Autumn yet :)
I'm still loving pink blooms
and everything summer!
May I tell you a little story about this beautiful heart shaped
mini rose bouquet hanging from our armoire?
I had seen this probably more than a year ago at a little shop that I go to
only "once in a while".
I usually buy my little candles for my tea~light holder in there
because I love that they have lilac scented ones.
Lilacs are a favourite scent of mine.
Anyways...a year ago I was in their back room checking out the ribbons
and odds n ends that were on sale,
and I noticed this cute little rose heart hanging there.
I loved it but did not buy it;
I thought it was a bit pricey.
Recently I thought of it again and hoped, but didn't necessarily believe it could even still be there.
I asked my Heavenly Father if He would let it still be there for me.
First of all, the attentive cashier (the owner's sister)
asked if she could help me.
I told her what I had coming looking for and where it was, and she said no we don't have that heart.
I thanked her, but I still hadn't given up hope.
I looked again at the back, my eyes scanning every crevice..lol
No, it wasn't there.
I came out front a bit disappointed but realizing ...
it H A D been a year.
Still searching out in the storefront, I saw a wedding section.
My heart filled with hope...
it could be there!???
I went over and started to look,
and there before my grateful and excited eyes
was my little heart treasure.
Did He save this for me?
Could something this small,
give HIM pleasure to give me?
I believe so.
And ....it was on for 20% off this time! Lol
I know this might seem trivial...
but it wasn't to me.
And I know...it's not about "things" or "what He can give me".
The "most beautiful" here is that He remembered
and He saved this for me,
tucked it away,
because He knew I really liked it;
and that I'd ask Him later about it.
He is really like that, you know.
He cares, about the little things,
loves to surprise us,
even more than we do with our own children.
Every time I gaze upon this
little pink heart of roses
I am reminded that He saved it for me,
set it aside for me,
just because He loves and cares for me.

Don't forget....He's also God of "the little things".
All my heart,
Deborah xo
