A Little Thing That Meant A Lot!
Some would think this isn't such a big thing; but for my employment; I do handyman work such as drywall, tiling, carpentry, etc.
My finances are a bit shaky due to some hard times last year; and today as I was working on a commercial office project, I dropped my prize possession on the floor by accident, and it literally fell to pieces! I had just bought this drill on sale for $100.00, and this was really unusual for such a short fall.
The tragedy lay in the fact that I really needed this drill, (it was a special kind), to do my job), and I couldn't afford to buy another one.
I was concerned that the store where I bought it would not want to replace it, as I had recently filed away the receipt and would not be able to produce it.
Well, I took this to the Lord in prayer, and at the end of the day; I decided to go to the store and speak with the manager about it to see if he could do anything.
I had my two sons with me, and I had explained the situation to them before I talked to the manager. Can you imagine our surprise and delight when we were led to the drill section, and then handed a brand new drill worth $40.00 more than the old one?!
It is a lovely machine, much better than the old one! I will look forward to building a few walls with it tomorrow!
I don't know how God does what He does; but I am glad He does! (thankyou Lord for being concerned about all the "little things" that concern us).
