Subject: God's not so mysterious ways About a month ago I lost my everyday set of car keys. So i've been using my second set. Until today when I lost those too. When I lost the first set it was around home here, so no big deal. This time I wasn't so lucky. I had taken the dog for his run in a field not to far away,(thank goodness) The dog and I had to walk over a mile to get home. Now a mile doesn't sound like much to walk, maybe even in good weather, but today it was all of 10 degrees above zero with a wind chill of minus ten. Felt more like minus thirty to me. Poor OX slowed his gate about halfway, but he hung in there. I could tell he was mad at me when we got home. So on the way home I had plenty of time to contemplate my situation and figured out what really happened. I'm positive that God threw my keys out into the field someplace and all the while saying, "Boy u need the exercise." Well I had to make it up to the dog by having to buy him a Dairy Queen cone that he loves so much. And I threw in a peanut butter chocolate chip brownie to boot. He's become quite the cookie monster lately. It's a good thing that dog's don't hold a grudge. He was happy as ever to go for another ride so momma could take me to my car so I could drive it home. I'm on my last key. Either I borrow a metal detector, or I will end up at the dealership paying $35+ for one key. God said "Boy, take a walk." And I did.
