Who says God isn't in the details? :-)
I was in Spanish class tonight (got a 98% on last week's test! )and during break I was mighty, mighty tempted by the vending machine in the hallway.
I had packed a piece of fruit for myself but I was really, really hungry and I wasn't sure the fruit would hold me until the end of class. But, I didn't want to spend money unnecesarily in the machine and I'm trying to cut way back on refined carbs.
Still, the sweet siren song of the machine got to me and I decided to get a small bag of Sun Chips. I pulled a dollar out of my wallet, and the machine spat it back at me, saying it needed exact change. So, I went fishing for coins (which I NEVER spend--they go in the change jar for vacation money) and got my first dime in before a fit of conscience came over me. I just couldn't do it.
So, I pushed the coin return button to get my dime back. When I reached in to get my change, I found that someone before me had left behind their change. Not only did I get my dime back, I got an extra $0.40!!!
I know it was a message...
I think it was a message from God...

And Boomeyers, that's a good message. I like that. Too may times we hand up too soon.
