Home Sweet Simple Home


He's in the small stuff

I just have to share with you this story of God at work. It is from my sister-in-law. My nephew plays on the same rocket football team as Mike's 10 yr old son.

By the way, I don't think I shared the football pants story with you.  On Saturday, I had changed the sheets on [11 yr old nephew's] bed and was digging in his closet for sheets and found a MC Sports bag.  I opened it wondering what was in it -- it was brand new football pants that I didn't know I had!  I looked at them and thought, well that's a waste.  [Nephew] only has a week of football left and they'll never fit him next year.

Tuesday [DH] talked with Mike's Dad/[10 yr old's Grandfather[ and learned that [10 yr old] was going to be at practice that evening and he had all of his gear -- except football pants.  He had left his gear in the car but worn the football pants in the house- which were then lost in the fire. Mike's Dad wondered if we had any that [10 yr old] could wear!!!!  [10 yr old] wears the same size as [Nephew]!!  I truly believe, that as small as this was, God had his hand in it too.  I had no idea I had those pants until Saturday. 
Wow! Don't we serve an awesome God! I truly believe that this is only one of many such stories that will be told as this continues to unfold.
Thank you Lord for showing us again and again that You are in control! Please Lord- use us to bring this family closer to You.

The Wagner Clan

My Husband (DH)-
Mr. Steady

My rock and biggest supporter. The glue that keeps the family sane. He is like deep, deep water- it takes a lot to see a ripple.

DD12- Our Maiden in Waiting- By the world's standard she's a 'tween'. By ours and the Lord's- this is the time of her years of preparation. She is eagerly learning what it means to keep a home and daily becomes more and more of a helper to her Mama.

DD9- Sassafras My Sassy middle child. She holds her own so sweetly and has such an empathetic heart. While real Sassafras is used for flavoring- She is that added sweet flavor to our family.

DS5- Mr. Conductor- The train aficionado in the family. He's the little man and best helper around! He's also the biggest Oreo fiend in the family.
