Such a Simple Thing

Years ago as a young mom of 2-3 little ones, we were getting ready for Sunday services, and I found myself in desperate need of a pin.  
Yes a pin!  
Seems so small today ~  but believe me when times are tighter than tight and you need a pin it can send you into a spin!
We looked high and low and found none.  We mentioned how we would pick some up the next time we went to the store (if we had an extra dollar (no joke)).   
But how about the present need?   
I honestly don't recall what I did about the situation but I do know that it did not hold us back from going to church.
As we parked our little truck full of too many people, I turned to open the door and there was a hand positioned  outside my window with a fist full of pins!  The pins were drooling down thru the fingers in long ropes and were piled high so that the hand could not close.  I rolled down the window and looked up and there stood our old friend John Dawson.    "Hey John,  what you doing?"    "Marnie,  Emma and I have been saving these pins for many years and this morning I sez to Emma,  "Emma,  I'm going to throw these pins away!"   She sez to me, "John! Don't throw them away,  I'm sure that there is someone who could use them!   How about Rich and Marnie"   " So what do you say? Can you use these pins?"


Guess you had to be there......
it was a miracle that has stayed with me for over 30 years.  The seemingly smallest of things has reminded me over and over that the Lord sees and knows all and that His timing is perfect!
Last winter, as I got my coats out of the closet, the Lord prompted me to make a chain of pins and hang them on the lapel of my jackets.   I have had many opportunities to tell of Jehovah Jireh.  My God Who supplies ALL my needs ACCORDING to His riches in glory.   
He started small in my life and held my hand over the years as He has taught me over and over  that there is NOTHING that is too difficult for Him!


Blessed Be His Holy Name!
