Yesterday I put on a denim long-sleeved blouse and denim skirt to wear to church. The outfit called for a rougher piece of jewelry. I thought of the puau cross necklace on a black cord that I had bought in New Zealand last winter.
I looked at the jewelry tree where I hang my necklaces. The necklace wasn't there. "Where would it be?" I thought. "Oh, maybe it got knocked off and is behind our chest of drawers."
So I got down on my hands and knees and started feeling the carpet behind this piece of furniture. Sure enough, only one piece of jewelry was back there: the blue puau necklace!
Dear Father in Heaven,most things in my life I want what I want when I want it! Like my necklace yesterday, I want to reach out and grab it!! I don't want to look for it!
Thank You, Father, that You give me thoughts of where to look for my answers. Thank You that You might want me to "seek, before I can find" and sometimes being down on my knees might be the only way for me to find the answer to my prayer. In the name of Your Son, who made praying to You possible. Amen.
