Mel's corner

Kevin came in the room this morning and asked the strangest question, “Have you left the doors open?” Puzzled I said,”Why?” He answered “I think we’ve been broken into!” Half awake We made our way downstairs to find the living room slightly messy and the patio door wide open. I left my handbag in the room the night before and obviously it was looked into but to my surprise nothing was missing. We have some baskets we keep little change and I sometimes dump my keys in there. Looking into them the only thing missing is my CAR KEYS!! Calmly I asked Kev if my car is still there? He said yes….

I sat down still a bit shocked and said “Thank you Jesus.” Let’s back track to the day before. Working as usual at my work place a thought came into my mind ‘what if somebody came into the shop to tell me someone’s stolen my car!’ I then thought to myself gosh that would be such a hassle! Altho’ we might be covered by insurance but with no car it would be a pain to get to places especially with my condition. I then said the shortest simple prayer,”Lord please don’t let that happen, please also protect my family.” I then carried on as usual.

Got home as usual did the usual stuff…. Went to bed ready for the next day. In the middle of the night I went to the loo and then the little one needed a cuddle. So cuddling the little one went back to bed. In the process I did hear a loud bang, like someone closing a door. I even had a thought, ‘ mmmm that might be a thief in the house.’ I even casually said,’ Lord please protect us Amen.’ Without even realising fell asleep.

This morning sitting on the sofa, I couldn’t thank him enough! The only reason my car was not stolen was because Kevin’s car and our neighbour’s car was in the way. Kevin keeps his keys somewhere else . Only by God’s grace that no money was stolen from my bag altho’ there was quite a bit of cash in it but because we ordered takeaway the night before I left my purse in a funny place within my bag. Only by God’s grace that none of my credit cards were taken because it’s in a funny container. Only by God’s grace ‘they’ did not see the ‘Tom Tom’ lying around. Only by God’s grace ‘they’ did not bother going upstairs to look for things. Only with Him that they did not find Kevin’s keys. Only by God’s grace that I parked my car in front of Kevin’s. Only by His Grace and comfort that I fell asleep without even noticing that He’s taking care of everything else.

No words can express how thankful I am!! ‘ THANK YOU JESUS!! ‘
