For the first 18 years of my
life I attended a little country church with an
average Sunday morning attendance of fewer than
100. We all knew each other well. Many of us were
related.
My mother grew up attending that
church, and her parents had been members there for
as long as anyone could remember.
Three
times every week my mother herded her four
stairstep
kids into that building. She carried with her some
picture books, a coloring book and crayons and a
Mason jar with water inside it in a brown paper
bag.
The building had no bathrooms
or water fountains. It had no baptistery either,
but fortunately it was located near a creek.
Each summer the church hosted a gospel meeting that
lasted either one week or two.
Our pew was occupied every night.
I could
take you to that church today and show you the
toothmarks created on the back of “our” pew when my
siblings and I cut our baby teeth.
In that
building I learned that God created everything
good, that He loves us, His laws are good for us,
and we will live with Him in heaven someday.
Today I am a member of a
church whose membership totals over 3,000. I still
study the same scriptures I “cut my teeth on.” How
grateful I am for my Christian heritage.

Last night my husband put
together an outdoor Christmas decoration he had
just brought home from the store. He opened the
big box on our kitchen table (our mainstay
worktop).
Then he worked on it off and on as I was busy
in another part of the house.
Later he
called me into the kitchen and held up a white,
plastic, tubular piece.
“I have been
looking for this piece for half an hour,” he
said. “I couldn’t finish putting this thing
together without it. Then I felt a prompting to
look for it inside your
purse.”
“My purse?” I said. “My purse isn’t even
in the kitchen.”
“No,” he said, “but it
was on the table when I first opened the box.
So, anyway, I opened your purse
and there it was. The piece obviously fell
inside it and I didn’t notice.”
“Amazing!” I said. “I guess God just bestowed a
blessing on you to help you find it.”
“Does God do things like that?” he asked. “This
seems like an awfully small thing for God to
bother with.”
We both agreed that God
could bless us in small ways if
He chose to, but would He choose to?
In
Genesis 18, Abraham conversed with three
visitors. The men told Abraham that Sarah, far
past childbearing days, would have
a child before they visited again. During their
visit, the question was asked, “Is anything too
hard for the Lord?”
My husband and I
concluded that God can do whatever
He wishes. No task is too big for Him. Neither
is any task too small.
