The little things...

I just want to say how great God is and how good he is to me. Some people may laugh at my little examples of Gods greatest - but I dont care. It is often said (i think) that the little things in life matter and helping people in the little things show that you care. Let me give you some examples of how God has helped me over the last couple of days: - 1) I went shopping last night and I love baked potatoes. Normally on a Monday evening there isnt any left, so I said a very quick prayer that there would be some and also some nice veg to go with them - and guess what there was not only spuds but the veg as well. 2) I have a very bad habit of leaving my car in a pay zone and not paying enough for the parking. Each evening as i leave work I promise a mass for the holy souls that my car isnt clamped. Since i have started this practice i havent been clamped. Please note that i have turned a new leaf and am leaving the car at home. Today the clampers were around - my car was at home. 3) This morning after mass I drove to the road i usual park on in order to get the Luas to work. Normally at 8.00 the spaces are a relatively long walk away - ie 5ish mins as opposed to 2 mins (and uphill in the evenings). I said a little prayer that i would get parking close and i did.
These a very small examples of the glory of God - how good He is me. I love it when i recognise his gentle touch in my day as then I know that He is watching me and looking after me. I am looking forward to meeting Him face to face ( after many years of purifying) in order to express my gratitude for His kindness. I feel so sorry for all the poor people who dont know Him.

It's true - we all have numerous examples like this.

Good to see you back blogging (and so edifying too!)

Where have you gone Monster? I miss your random thoughts. Have you gone on holidays again? Has your bed finally eaten you? Have you been captured on the Luas and been unable to leave? If you can, please let us know
