So I am way broke. But the other day I was walking somewhere and I found $10. It's not a lot to some people, but it's really a lot to me. I had really been stressing about money at the time, too. To me, finding $10 wasn't happenstance or good luck. It was the Lord's way of giving me a ray of sunshine, and letting me know that he hasn't forgotten me, he won't forget me, and my needs will be met.
It reminds me of a scripture...1 Nephi 21:15 It says.... For can a woman forget her sucking child, that she should not have compassion on the son of her womb? Yea, they may forget, yet will I not forget thee, O house of Israel.
The Lord is less likely to forget me than a mother is to forget her own sucking child. And mom's don't forget their babies.
So this is going to sound silly, and even a little shallow, but I feel like this is a little example of how the Lord cares about what we care about, because he cares about us, even if it's not actually important. It's just like how we recognize how important a lost barbie doll is to a four-year-old.
About a week ago I was kind of assessing my wardrobe, and I realized that I've had 3 of my 5 pairs of jeans since 2007 or 2008. Which is cool, they fit, they last, they're good. They're just getting pretty faded. So I was just wishing I had the budget to buy a pair of jeans that were darker. Nbd, just wistful, not something I told anyone. Well the very next day, my roommate, Marisa Burgen, asked me what size pants I wore, and she gave me a nearly new pair of pants that were too long for her.
The jeans weren't a big deal. But the fact that the Lord cares enough about me to provide for my wants, in addition to my needs, is just amazing. I am so grateful for all that I am blessed with, because let's be real, it's all from the Lord.
