Shoveling

The other day, I went outside to shovel out my car so I could get to work. Just after I started, my neighbor pulled into his driveway. He immediately got out, grabbed his shovel and started helping me. We chatted while shoveling and knowing he had recently been on a trip, I offered to get his mail if he went away again. He told me he had just gone skiing in Europe! While there, he fell and shattered his helmet when he was skiing the alps. Then, he told me the most amazing story!
Last week, he had texted my husband to tell him someone was in our backyard. They both went out and by then, nobody was there but they concluded it must have been someone chasing a dog. The neighbor told my husband he had the worst migraine and that he had never had one before. My husband suggested he go to the hospital to get a shot like I have to do at times when my migraine is really bad. He ended up going and said he probably never would have gone if my husband hadn't suggested it. It turns out he had a brain bleed! If he hadn't gone to the hospital when he did, things would have been bad.
I took this as a reminder from God. We never know how God will use anything we say, do, or go through. And, if we think he isn't in on the little conversations but only pays attention to the big stuff, we are wrong. God is in our lives for the big and little stuff and he uses it all for good!
