Give Him The “Little” Too!

You know what I love about God?
Nothing is too big or too little to bring to Him.
Literally nothing. He cares about it all.

So here is my little “isn’t He amazing?!” story of the day.

This is my coffee maker.
I’ve had it for a few years now and I love it!

(I’m sure you can tell how well-used it is by the fingerprints on it that I was tempted to clean off for the photo but then thought 🤷🏼‍♀️ “Let’s just be real!”)

I love how it has a frother, to give me that little bit of foam on the top of my cup. ☕️

I love how I can make just a cup if I want,
because that’s all I drink each day…

or a travel mug of hot tea every morning for my hubby before he goes to work…

or a whole pot when I have guests and we chat with coffees around my kitchen table. ❤️

I even pack up this baby and take it camping with us when we go, even though our camper is small and this takes up an unreasonable amount of space on the counter.

So anyway- and I know this sounds silly-
but the last time we went camping a few weeks ago, I packed up this coffee maker as well as the trusty toaster we have had since we got married, and I got them out to make breakfast with
and NEITHER OF THEM would work!

I tried multiple plug ins, I tried connecting them directly to the electric box. I literally tried everything.

Got them home, and the same.
Googled it, You tube’d it, to see if there was a solution and there was nothing I could find.

The toaster I shrugged off because- well, it was a cheap toaster to begin with, and it had lasted 16 years. I figured it had gotten its use. And replacing it wasn’t going to cost us much.

But the coffee maker? Well it may be cheap to some but $100 wasn’t cheap to me, and it had only been a few years, and we did not have money for another because a lot of expenses have been coming up. And I was feeling super pouty.

And then God prompted me to pray.

((Me))- Pray over my coffee maker??
Like for real?

((God))- Yes. Just do it.

((Me))- Ok, God. You’re God. I’ll do it if you say so. Can’t hurt.

So I pray over my coffee maker and I kid you not- I did NOTHING else to it. And the error message went away, and it started working again and hasn’t missed a beat since! 😯

So then of course I pray over the toaster.
Because replacing it would only be like 25 bucks but 25 bucks is 25 bucks. And more so really- because miracles are AMAZING! It’s so cool watching God do what he does.

And I know it’s a “little miracle” –

it’s not like when he gave me baby C after 5 losses,

or like when he made ends meet for us month after month after month when it looked impossible,

or like when he parted the waters in Egypt…

But I truly relish EVERY MIRACLE he performs!

And He did it again!!!

The toaster that I had declared “toast” at the campsite, that still wouldn’t work when we got home, that I just hadn’t taken the time to throw away yet, suddenly WORKED. With no explanation. When it hadn’t worked 20 seconds or 20 minutes or 20 hours or the 20 other times I tried it before.

Y’all.
I don’t always get answers the moment I pray.
And sometimes I don’t get a yes either.
But when God prompts you to pray for something,
or someone,
JUST DO IT.
You never know.
And what do we have to lose anyway?
A whole lot less than we have to gain-
which is a REALLY cool story,
of how personal God is,
and how much he cares-
about the big things, the little things,
and everything in between. ❤️

God is able to make ALL grace abound to you,
so that in ALL things
at ALL times
having ALL that you need,
you will abound
In every good work. ~ 2 Cor. 9:8
