I was noticing…
I was reading in John 2 today, among some other portions, and found something interesting in a familiar story. It was the story of the wedding in Cana, and as you remember, Jesus went as an invited guest with His disciples and his mother. It was early in the relationship with these men and I’m sure they weren’t necessarily expecting much. Of course the wine runs out and Mary indicates to Jesus that He needed to do something. And He turned a goodly amount of water into the very best wine of the evening. However, unlike many other miracles, the people who were the recipients didn’t get to know exactly how this new wine showed up and Who to thank. The MC of the wedding just remarked on the quality of the wine and the irony that it was being saved until last. It was the disciples and the servants who knew Who was responsible and knew what a miracle had just occurred. You know, sometimes Jesus does His wonders simply to confirm His disciples and servants. He wants you, as a follower, to be confident in His Presence, His Power and His Love and He’s willing to do the supernatural things, unnoticed by the world, that give you that confidence. Have you ever had the Lord do something for you that no one else would notice, but you do? That’s His special attention and love given to you to build your faith. Don’t worry that no one else saw it! It was likely just for you… yes, He loves you that much. Blessings, PB

Yeah!
Like the time last week I went out for what turned out to be a HORRIBLE run.
I have to drive to the the bike path because the foot doc says I can’t run on roads or sidewalks.
And because there is a bridge out on Gilmore Road, and there is an extensive detour, I have to add 10 miles to each and every commute to Brockport. For the next 4 months!!!
Last week, on top of it all, a cop set up a road block in the DETOUR so I literally had to drive through HAMLIN to get to BROCKPORT to get this run in.
The run itself was awful. It was hot, humid, and I got bitten by bugs. I forgot to drink enough water before I left, and my foot was really hurting.
BUT…..
At the end of the run, someone had put out a watering sprinkler on the path to water the plants in the parking area by the Main Street bridge. I’ve never seen one set up there before.
THAT was SOOOOOOO God!
I ran right through it, and started jumping and dancing around the sprinkler, trying to get cooled down because I was overheated and dehydrating. I didn’t care one lick what the drivers on Main Street thought.
It was a miracle all for me!!!
I’m sure the Lord’s wine at Cana was great, but on that day, I was just as happy with His water!!
