I just wanted to share a story of how God made a quick appearance last night for my family. We took our 3yr old son to the first evening of vacation bible school. This is the first ’separation’ for our family because he is the oldest. Like we suspected he cried and cried and cried. I sent my husband in the room hoping he could get him ‘psyched’ up for this, or whatever that dad go-get-him touch is! He wasn’t in there for more than a minute trying to calm him down when he looked over on a shelf and saw a pair of binoculars. Well this is one of my sons’ favorite toys at home. AMEN!!!! Needless to say when we picked him up a few hours later he began to cry again but only because he didn’t want to leave!
Awesome, we know who sent those binoculars and the eyse to see them. Great story, thank you for sharing Kate.
