THE ULTIMATE PINCH HITTER

"Any fool can count the seeds in an apple. Only God can count the apples in a seed."
~ Robert H. Scheller ~

We have just planted grass on rather a wide swath of lawn area.
I spent hours pulling hoses from place to place and setting multiple sprinklers just right to keep it watered.
And then, when I was almost finished,
Without any note of it in the forecast, a thunderstorm came through,
And in 5 minutes, God did the whole job far better than I ever could have done
No matter how long I spent moving the hoses.

I learned something sitting in the barn watching that rainstorm,
or realized it it a new way anyway-
That I am so very very small,
And that God is the ultimate pinch-hitter.

I am blessed by God's grace.
