A few months ago we gave our dog Dixie to some friends. A couple weeks ago I texted the friend and asked how she was doing. When no response came I wrote it off. Well, as the days went by I kept thinking about sweet little, rambunctious Dixie. So yesterday I sent him another text asking if they still had her. I came to find out that she had ran away about a week before I sent him the last message and she hadn't came back.
I get a wild hair and I go down to the county animal shelter and what do you know, Dixie is there!!! The woman working proceeds to tell me that Dixie had just arrived a couple minutes before I got there! What's even more amazing is what she tole our friends when they went and picked Dixie up...
You see our friends live in a small town about 30 minutes from here. The town pound had picked Dixie up the day she ran away. Because 3 weeks had passed and no one came and claimed her Dixie was sent to the county pound to be put down!
I'd like for someone to try to tell me that God wasn't at work here! This is a testament of how much God really does love us and how he cares about even the seemingly small things in our life!
Luke 12:26-28 says 26 Since you cannot do this very little thing, why do you worry about the rest?
27 “Consider how the wild flowers grow. They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you, not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. 28 If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today, and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, how much more will he clothe you—you of little faith!

So today be encouraged!! God knows every single detail about you and your life, and He loves you anyway!! He cares about the fact that you have a headache, your dog ran away, your baby cried for you when you dropped him off, and everything in between! Don't worry!! He has it all under control!!
