Keep One Eye Open

Sometimes there are opportunities hiding right under our noses but our eyes are closed. Last summer we were praying about ways to have a “hobby class” with 4 neighbor boys who played with our son some of the time. Halfway through the summer we got a trampoline, put the sprinkler under it and the kids were all jumping around inside the safety net having a wonderful time. Then they’d get tired, come to the back porch and want a drink. It took a week or two to realize the Lord had answered prayer. They got their water, a refreshing popsicle and a Bible story at a time when the were tired enough to not be too wiggly. What opportunities are right on our doorstep?

(By the way, that’s the eyeball of an elk staring at you. He was about a foot away on the opposite side of a chainlink fence.)
