Amen to that. Watermelon always reminds me of God's care of specific details. Nine years ago I was a college student spending the summer teaching English in China. At one particular school, they served us lunch every day, followed with ice cream. I am lactose intolerant, but gobbled it up anyhow. One day, though, my mouth watered for watermelon. Lo and behold, two or three large watermelons made their appearance in place of ice cream! God takes such good care of us, giving us the simple desires of our heart! And now I'm where you were, liking my house but wanting another that's out of my price range. Sigh. “And the combination of those things is an affirmation of God’s love and his care of such tiny, specific details in my life.”

I think if he did it all the time it would be overwhelming, but things like finding the fleet of purple buses after the fact...that's cool.

It's an example too of how God answering our prayers with "no" is in our best interests - although we don't often see it that way right away. He is indeed amazing! =^) Wow!
