Deal or No Big Deal

A mission give you a chance to think about your life. Yesterday I was busy putting the drain field together with the pipe and gravel. One of the workers was running the back hoe as I was putting the system together and used my knife to cut the cloth that separated the dirt from the gravel. My wife called and needed me for a minuet when I return my knife it was missing from my holster. the back hoe had moved aloft of dirt and I thought that there is no way that I would find the knife. We looked and dug for a while and could not find it so that night I prayed for some help from hose who are looking out for us to help me. The next day before we when out on another job I ran out to look for it quickly before we left. My wife called and said come on we don't have all day.
So I started walking back slowly to the car and there it was with dirt clods all around it. I grab it and held it up high and said, Hey Connie look what I found. As we sat down in the car my eyes filled up with gratitude and again I felt peace in my heart for the help I had received to find it. It may not be a big deal for most people but for me losing something is a big deal. When I was younger my Dad would get very angry with me when I would lose something. As I thought back through my life every time I needed to find something, I was able to kneel down and say a prayer and I was alway able to find what I had lost
