Little Things

Life in Christian community is so neat at times.
I happened to be around the office chatting with a “friend teacher” in the office area at Bethany, after 4:30pm (it closes at 4:30) and the secretary happened to pass by with carrot cake. And she handed us two pieces of carrot cake on paper plates with forks (!) wrapped in saran. How can it be? It just seemed so random to come in the office after the usual hours of work with pre-wrapped carrot cakes when she had no idea we were still around.
It’s just that being in a Christian “community” here at Bethany can lead to many little random sweet things like carrot cake. It’s not that I love carrot cake that much, it’s simply that I think it’s neat. Thanks Ruth!
Oh, another neat, simple observation, or goodness from God to me. I sold my guitar to a student and obviously, she left with it. I found myself “guitarless”. So I asked faculty and staff here if anybody had a guitar to lend me for the rest of my time here. And 4 people offered me their guitar. Isn’t that neat? God is gracious to me. Thanks Rick and cie!

I know thess observations are very simple, but these days, I think I need to notice the little sweet things that happen around me. It reminds me of God’s goodness to me and that even though life isn’t as easy and fun as last week when the students were still around, God is still around and He loves me, He cares for me.
