Close Call

This morning before we left for church, I had the distinct thought to bring my purse with me, which I normally do not do unless Justin is sick. I thought that maybe I would need to drive home or use my camera or receive a phone call. I grabbed it and left it in the car during church. I didn't think about it again until we got home. Justin and I were talking in the car, so I reached over and turned off the engine to save gas. We got out a few minutes later, and I thought, "Well, I guess I didn't need my purse after all." Immediately after that thought, Justin said, "I locked my keys in the car!" Since I had turned off the engine, Justin forgot to take out his keys. Luckily, I had my purse and thus my keys with me! Otherwise, we would have had to walk to the housing office in our church clothes (and white heels for me). Yay for promptings from the Spirit! I'm glad I listened.

Our Father in Heaven is mindful of us in all things. By the Holy Spirit He will send promptings even for mundane things. Sometimes these mundane things can have a big impact on our mundane day. This is a good example.
