I’m of the opinion that it is very rare that God sends us crap to have to deal with in order to strengthen our character and our faith. The natural world gives us enough crap to deal with on a day-to-day basis to do that.
But - it would be nice to have a crumb of hope once-in-awhile. I know. It is hard sometimes when things get so out-of-control. Praying for a crumb of hope - “Even the dogs get the crumbs from the Master’s table”.
This is a weird crumb but Honeywell is replacing free a dog watching cam that I got cheap at ROSS last year, that the power cord broke on.
Not even asking for the old one back as evidence.
When the guy told me that last night, I just started crying like an idiot.
I apologized for that crazy woman outburst and then told him a short version of how everything else has gone to crap so the replacement camera was a wildly happy thing for me and meant more than he could ever imagine.
It made him extremely happy to help me and he prayed for me.
So there is that.
Tonight i skimmed the book of Job.
Wow.
I am SO not any kind of a Job.
