Little Miracles

I've heard someone speak about the little miracles that God does for his people... miracles that often go unnoticed by us who receive them. As someone who is receiving an income through the generosity of others who support this ministry at Bighorn, I am starting to see those miracles a little more clearly than I have before. Being "on support" is neither an easy road nor a lucritive business, but it is an amazing way to experience the faithfulness of our God. The miracle that I am seeing is how some of that faithfulness comes in other ways other than through receiving gifts of finances. In my case it has come through my car!

Many people have laughed at my Honda and made fun of it (forms of endearment). Honestly, I love it when people do that. But they continue to be amazed that she keeps on trucking along. She made the journey from Maryland to Montana. I've taken her to the Grand Tetons, Calgary, Alberta, and Moab, Utah. She has made several trips out to Seattle and has survived the paved and unpaved roads of Montana. Not bad for a 91 Honda with well over 300,000 miles on it! I consider this one of the many miracles that God has done in my life. This car just keeps on going with little to no need of repair. I may not make a lot of money, but the Lord has blessed me with a vehicle that keeps on working for very low cost.

This morning I started up my car so I could drive her into town. By the sound I could immediatley tell I was lacking something quite important... a muffler. I looked in the back and sure enough, my muffler has disconnected. Thankfully that happened while it was parked over Christmas break and not while I was driving. I am starting to think that the days for the wonderful vehicle might be coming to a close, but that part of the story isn't written yet.
