Does God prefer Hoover?

God is good. It's an understatement. In our family, we seem to live life at 90 miles an hour. Between Boy scouts, school, work, and church it's not difficult to miss the amazing little miracles that some people call coincidence, but we know to be God's providence.

Recently, we were cleaning the house and I was looking for a way to clean out the window sill. There was about three inches of dirt and dust that accumulated between the screen and the window. I wanted to open the windows to enjoy to nice weather. Our vacuum works fine, but is an upright little dirt devil. It didn't have the attached hose that we needed. Joey and I discussed the need to save up some money so we could purchase a vacuum with a hose. Since it's not a high priority, it's low on the to-do list.

The next day, we were eating dinner at Mom and Dad's and as we were leaving, their neighbors put a vacuum out by their trash. Come to find out the vacuum works fine, they just wanted to upgrade to a bigger model, so they were getting rid of the perfectly good vacuum with a hose.

Even without praying for it, God provided a perfectly good vacuum for free! I know that some people might laugh and question God's involvement in such a small, insignificant aspect of our lives. But this experience has only reinforced my belief that God truly cares about us and he's looking out for us. It wasn't chance or coincidence... it was a modern day miracle that demonstrates how much God love us.
