My son wanted a certain type of wood dog house, but I told him we couldn't afford it. We couldn't agree on things. I breathed a prayer about it...then went on with life. Three weeks later, the weather began to change. Diamond would be cold, sleeping outside on a blanket.
My neighbor had an old used plastic doghouse with permanent stains on it, and I thought...well its better than nothing. I went over and started cleaning it up. I wondered what my son would say to me.
Well...on the very day I was cleaning up the dog house....a dog house showed up at our place! A beautiful wood dog house. Someone brought it to a donation pile at a church and and my parents saw it...grabbed it....my dad made a sign...and they brought it over for a surprise.
I was surprised! And my son loves it!
This was a little thing...but if God is so merciful in these little things, He must be taking care of all the bigger things I'm worried about.
Seeing that dog house out the window (when it first showed up) really made a strong impression on my heart. God said, "I KNOW your trials."
He has the answers to our prayers in the works...before we even breathe the prayer.
"Be anxious for nothing. But by prayer, let your requests be known unto God, and the peace of God shall guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus."

Thanks for this reminder! I needed it on this, my first day back to teaching.
I love special hugs like this from the Lord...
Oh, how true...if he cares about dog houses...by sure he will care about the rest of the stuff...Easily said sometimes.
What a mighty God we serve!
Looks like Corey's in the doghouse! Glad it's a literal doghouse.
Yes, God cares about the little things, how much more the big ones? What a lovely little house for your doggie!
