So, I just had to take a moment this morning to say how much it makes me smile that God cares about the little things.

I had a photobook at Shutterfly ready to order with a pretty good coupon already waiting to be used. As I open my e-mail this morning I pray, "Lord, if you wouldn't mind sending just one more Shutterfly coupon this morning that would be great." Because I mean who ever pays full price at Shutterfly? It's pretty much a rule just like Hobby Lobby. Anyways, two seconds later, waiting in my inbox is a 40% off your order for Shutterfly which is pretty much about as good as the discounts get there (believe me, I've tried all sorts of combinations, it's rare that they add up to any more than 40% off). Not only that, but it was the rare occasion where I could combine this coupon with the one I already had which is a miracle in and of itself.

Yes, I am waxing poetic about online coupons and photobooks BUT, the point is, God cares about the little things, even bringing a smile to my face with an e-mail. "He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all—how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things?"

This is not a Joel Osteenian plug to get down on your knees and ask for a million bucks, this is a thank you for the little reminder that I need to be taking all things to my gracious Father and not fretting over details I can't control anyway.
