A Friend Wrote…
Story by Chris B.
I thought of this in a moment of panic. I had just gotten home after running errands
after work. I was trying to take some of
the laundry out as well as get a shower and put away a gift I had gotten for a
friend. Anyway, I always take my rings
off and put them in a little ceramic container at my bathroom counter before my
shower. The cat jumped up onto the counter
as she wanted some water from the sink.
I thought I took both of my rings off and placed them on the ceramic
dish. I took my shower and put away the
clothes and went back to get my rings.
There was only the wedding band there and my engagement ring was not
there. I panicked and prayed as I looked
on the floor and shook out the clothes.
I panicked and prayed harder as I retraced my steps. When I first went into the bedroom, I
remembered that I had tidied up the bed as Ray loves a neatly made-up bed. I removed the sheet carefully and the quilt
on top too but found nothing. Then I looked
down between the bed and the nightstand and there it was. It was almost directly under the cross on the
wall. That cross reminded me to get back
to my daily devotions in the morning before starting my busy day. When I do, my day goes smoother, and I feel
like I’m not pressing the 911 panic button for prayer.
Isn’t it funny how God gets your attention? Thank you, Chris, for sharing this story with
me.
