If God is for Us Who Can Be Against Us

When i start feeling sorry for myself and resentful, i loose sight of the good things right under my nose. My sister is always there for me. Especially when i'm at my lowest. i get a break; an old friend calls, some one responds to my resume, i just have a productive day. These things take time but God comes through. I can do anything when i place my trust in God. BJ has had a bowel thing since last July. OK, I after rounds of antibiotics, a second opinion, several arguments with Felix, today i think: "Why not just call the vets myself and see what they have to say?" I call our vet of twenty years and even though he's about to close he says to come on over. I fish a stool sample out of the garbage and we (Felix and i) pile BJ into our least reliable car and begin to drive to the vet. A mile before the exit the car breaks down. BJ and i get out of the car and begin to walk/jog to the vet. At the end of the highway exit i trip and land on both knees. By the grace of God BJ has the sense not to run off, but he continues to stay by me. My left knee now looks like ground meat but i continue to trot to the vet. A woman and her husband see the whole thing. She asks if i'm ok and i explain that i'm trying to get to the vet and could they please give me a ride. They say of course not, NO. i feel myself start to cry but a thought come in my head. I can do all things with God who lives in me. Come on BJ! We start to jog again. We finally get to the vet who stayed opened an extra two hours, checked things out, gave us three kinds of medication and only charged us $60. Felix got gas in the car and by 1:30 we were all home. Thank God for all these small miracles and kindnesses. But i have to remember to keep my eyes on the prize, and not loose sight of all the great people and situations right under my nose.
