HAVE YOU EVER WONDERED IF GOD KNOWS YOU, IF HE CARES WHAT YOU'RE GOING THROUGH?

PAPER AIRPLANES

As president of the local women's organization at my church, I called meetings often to discuss the needs of our group. I prepared agendas and assigned topics. We stuck to an efficient schedule. My young son knew that when mommy had a meeting, he shouldn't bombard us with requests to build train tracks or color pictures. During one meeting, in the middle of our discussion, little paper airplanes floated down the stairs and landed on the floor. We chuckled for a minute. Like any other focused leader, I ignored their "distraction."

We checked off every item on our lists and delegated tasks for the rest of the week. I jotted down notes for myself and the names of people to contact.

It wasn't until later that I picked up the airplanes at the bottom of the stairs. I read my five-year-old's scrawl:

MOM, I need you A LOT. Please come NOW

MOM, I love you.

I miss you

I had missed a precious opportunity.

Over the years, I've wondered if, maybe, God might be sending the same types of "paper airplanes." Am I too wrapped up in my lists to get the messages? Too distracted?

His messages might simply be, "I love you." A nod that makes me smile.

His message could be, "I miss you." A tender reminder that I'm not alone.

What if that message happens to be, "I need you A LOT. Please come NOW?" 
Have I ignored those especially important  "paper airplanes?"

Am I missing an opportunity to recognize His precious miracles in my life?

I made a promise to myself that I will never miss another "paper airplane."

The more I look for miracles, the more I find them.

The more miracles, the more I KNOW God is behind them all.
