"The Button"

As I was folding up my laundry 2 weeks ago, I discovered that a button was missing from one of my blouses. I really felt really sad coz this particular blouse was a favourite. I just resigned myself to not being able to wear that blouse ever again.

A week after losing the button, I saw my friend and her child arguing about something outside my house. Apparently, my friend's child has a nasty habit of picking up small things from the road. This annoys my friend very much as her child has another nasty habit of putting her hands into her mouth. So when I saw them outside my house, they were arguing over something "green and small". I was just laughing it off coz I am used to this scene. But when I looked at the object of their debate, I felt my heart stop and beat faster than ever coz there in the middle of the street was my missing button! What are the odds of me finding the button? One in a million!!!!

The small green button has become so special for me. Whenever I see it, I am reminded that God is concerned not just of the major things in my life but also of the seemingly unimportant things. I just feel like God is hugging me and telling me that I am truly loved by Him.
