It was a near miss – almost frightening! There was only the smallest amount of liquid soap in the bottom of the plastic dispenser. Previously I had noted the need to refill the shower soap bottle, but had forgotten to do so after my last shower. Now I was down to the last 1/16th of an inch of my own generic scented lotion.
What was so scary was the fact that my only other option at the time was my wife’s floral somethingorother lavender shaded soft soap. Eeeee! I could have come out of the bath smelling like a rose or some other species of flower or worse maybe even like an entire bouquet! What would the guys have said after one single whiff of that sissy stuff on my body?!? I tell ya’ – it was close.
Disaster is often averted by such narrow margins. Have you ever pondered just how often God protects you from truly unpleasant events? The time you changed lanes without looking over your shoulder and God had an alert driver in the other lane. Or the moment you bent your head to the left as the baseball whizzed by on the right. Or…you fill in the details.
The extent of God’s loving care for each one of us will remain unknown to us until we are safely passed through to heaven’s side of that famous pearly gate.
