--Does Jesus Have Time For Me?

"What is the price of two sparrow--one copper coin? But not a single sparrow can fall to the ground without your Father knowing it...So don't be afraid, you are more valuable to God than a whole flock of sparrows."
---[Matthew 10:29-31/ NLT] --

---Recently I returned home after being away for two weeks. The fridge was empty of the basics: milk, fruit, and fresh veggies I headed to the grocery store. On the way I decided to stop at the gym for a workout. Unfortunately while on the treadmill, I suffered a sciatic injury. I could barely hobble, but--like a glutton for punishment--I refused to go home without buying food first.

My favorite grocery store has carts that require a quarter to unlock them for us. I always carry quarters, but this time I couldn't find one. How would I ever manage the groceries? I limped toward the entrance praying, Jesus help me.
I stepped into the store. Lo and behold, an empty unlocked cart sat three feet away. I waited and watched for a couple of minutes, but one claimed it. I t seemed invisible to shoppers and staff alike.

"Thank You, thank You, Jesus," I whispered. I pushed the cart around the store feeling very loved indeed.

Jesus cares about the birds, and He cares about His children far more. He's present, aware of, and eager to help us with every detail of our lives. No concern is too small for Him. Not even that of a shopping cart. Reach out to Jesus. He's as close as the mention of His Name. He always has time for us. "I will never leave you nor forsake you." ~~
