Day Sixty Six

OK so I am on my work this morning at 6:15 when I go through the McDonalds drive through to get coffee. As I leave I push the button up to roll my car window back up and it starts, stops, starts, stops, starts, and then stops about three-quarters of the way up. Stuck. I push the button up . . nothing. I push the button down and it goes down. Up . . nothing. I push it down again and it goes. Up . . ..that's right, nothing. So now I am driving with my window down three quarters of the way! I am thinking about all sorts of things, mainly that it will be sitting in the parking lot open, what about rain, what about theft, how much will this deplete my already skinny bank account, etc. At stop lights, I keep trying the up button while pushing up on the window with my hand. . . NOTHING! Ok, now I need a plan to call the car guy, who is reasonable, and see if they work on this kind of thing. Driving, planning, pushing, thinking . . .hmmmm when it suddenly occurs to me the one thing I haven't done! PRAYER! I place my hand on the window and say "Lord, please fix my window". I reach down, lift up on the button and LOW AND BEHOLD the window rolls up!!! I am laughing and crying that I am still so amazed every time God does that. Not so much that he fixed my window but that the One who created the heavens and the earth and everything on it cared enough to fix my window. Only because he loves me so much and knew at that moment that's what I needed. It wasn't a glorious miracle but just a small thing. God DOES care about everything we care about . . .even broken windows! Father, if you care enough to fix my broken window then of course you will fix everything today that is broken in my life! Thank you for your love and faithfulness.
