perfection

Awesome, Incredible, Wondrous Father God,

Yesterday You protected and provided for us perfectly. I realize that You do that for us each and everyday. But yesterday we were keenly aware of it.

We had car trouble of which we were unaware. The first clue was a noted toxic smell. There were kids to pick up from school. We had it timed to the very minute. All was going as planned, until the vehicle wouldn’t start.

Thank You Most Blessed Father God for the awareness of the neighbor that pointed out the fuel leaking under the car with every turn of the key and push on the gas pedal. Thank You for having us in the safety of a neighborhood where one stranger would help another.

Thank You for the conversation that had preceded this whole event. A true heart-to-heart which cleared the air of past hurts and disappointments. You did it all Father. From the initial silence of dissatisfaction to the tender tones and loving words used to discuss a growing problem.

You got us on the right page. You worked in each of us bringing us together as the team You are building us to be. You provided all the logistics of our being in an unfamiliar neighborhood, surrounded by people we didn’t know, yet it all fell together like clockwork.

One woman offered to take a man she didn’t know to a school out of her way to pick up children. A tow truck driver was the perfect entertainment for a four-year-old who adores “Mater” from Cars. Said driver went above and beyond his call of duty in his attempts to fix the problem himself and delivering the otherwise stranded driver to a location different than the towing address.

You provided this perfection Blessed Lord God. In Your own perfect Way. We were surrounded by Your loving perfection every second of the process, just as we are everyday. Thank You for reminding us Father.

The word ‘lucky’ was used to describe our circumstances. It was quickly replaced by ‘blessed’. Truly Father. We recognize the blessings You provided us at every turn. Blessings that can only be attributed to Your perfection.

Thank You Father. We are so incredibly grateful. We love You. Amen.
