Spiritually Speaking...
It is always so amazing to me how much Heavenly Father is aware of us AND it blows my mind how he uses the Holy Ghost to impress upon us things that will help us - no matter how trivial or small it might be! Case in point: Last Sunday after dinner I went to get my *fancy* Norwex rag to wipe down the counters... but it was no where to be found! I had everyone in the family looking for it! It's the only one I have and the only one that makes the counter tops sparkle! No one was able to find it. I had a prayer in my heart to help me find it and the fleeting thought came to "check in the garbage" - so I did... but nothing. So we finished tidying with a (junky) cloth and we all went to bed. Monday morning, I give another really good search for my rag and finally resign myself to spending the money to replace it (because I NEED that rag! haha). Monday is our garbage day and so I'd tied up the garbage and put it by the front door for dad to take it out to the dumpster on his way to work. As I did so a VERY strong impression came into my mind that said "Your rag is in the garbage! Search thoroughly through it and you will find it!"... so I grab the scissors, cut off the knot that I had just tied into it and really start searching through it and guess what... I FOUND IT!!! It was down in the bag! I thought to myself how cool it was that Heavenly Father knows all and he knew that it was important to me to find that rag AND how he used the Holy Ghost to let me know where to look!
