How amazing that He can turn an old orange suitcase into your saving grace... what a story! :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09398657042411057836noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6071923761436968359.post-72590532189475888792015-01-20T08:17:01.293-05:002015-01-20T08:17:01.293-05:00Deborah- thank YOU for your comment and wise persp...Deborah- thank YOU for your comment and wise perspective. It is so reassuring to us and our faith when we get these glimpses of God being in control and, as you said, having been down the road before us and knowing what's ahead. We know He is the ultimate Equipper for any and every situation, no matter if light or severe. He's got this! May you rest in His peace today.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09832876220927671791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6071923761436968359.post-54944830216680328132015-01-20T08:14:13.066-05:002015-01-20T08:14:13.066-05:00Thanks Walter, and I appreciate your comment.

He has been down the road ahead of us and nothing surprises Him. That gives me comfort. Especially in light of more serious situations where the temptation to panic is very real and very strong. If he can send something so simple as an orange suitcase to be a road marker and signal for help, then how much more can He do for that child who may be facing a terrifying illness. I needed that assurance today.

God does have a way of providing the right tool at the precise time for its use. In today's society, everything is centered around the newest thing on the market and you really did an excellent job in pointing out the old suitcase was the only thing available to bring attention in such a dangerous situation. Thanks for a beautiful post.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12505624869978893127noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6071923761436968359.post-25053129343792300272015-01-19T18:14:42.017-05:002015-01-19T18:14:42.017-05:00Wow, what a story!
