this morning, i lost my cell phone (again). (this was my old one, since i went swimming with my new one) doh!!
so, i start looking, panicking, retracing my steps. i hesitate before looking in the dishwasher. it can’t possibly be in there. no way. not even worth looking….
then i looked inside, and, HEY HEY, there it is, on the bottom rack! (of course, i’m not dumb enough to put it in there. no way). i do remember while getting the dishwasher ready to run (luckily with a 2 hour delay), hearing a “clunk” sound, and thinking one of the plates had shifted. must have been my phone falling out of my sweatshirt pocket……
later, it made me think of some of the people we serve. it seems they shouldn’t be in the situations they’re in. they’re like a phone in a dishwasher, and we can’t fathom how it’s worked out this way.
but, god’s in control, right? maybe it’s just a test to see if we’ll respond. to see if we’ll look hard to find them. to see if we’ll reach out to help.
eh
