Mary has three little daughters, and would be baby is going to be born. She lives with her husband and two housekeepers in a rent house. Her husband is a physician who’s taking his master degree right now; he is very busy with his studies and hospital tasks. He often goes home late because his job loads. Mary works as a government employee. Her office is about five six kilometers away from her rent house. In her 7 months pregnancy, she could not take a bus to go to her office; it forces her to go by motorbike instead. With 4 years old, 4 years old and 1 year old daughters, she barely takes a good rest everyday. She has to feed, cook and lots of social activities. It made her aunty, Ruth, came to help her for keeping her daughters.
One day, Mary had a social event to attend. She had to dress up well for it. She usually wears earrings for a special occasion. But, after looked for them many times, she still could not find them. I remember to put them here, in this box where they usually stay. I could ask somebody…but it might offend them, what should I do? Then she phoned her father who lived nearby for help. “All right, don’t panic…I’ll pray for you” John answered to Mary’s franticly called. Mary continued to search for the earrings with Ruth’s help. They both opened the cupboards, opened the make up drawers, but they could not find them. Huuuh I could not go without them, Mary sighed.
Hey...are these the earrings? Ruth shouted when she saw a glimpse under the bed sheet. Mary was very happy they finally found them. But didn’t we already upside down the bed sheet? Didn’t we search…Mary confused how that could be happened, but John knew what was happened after Mary told him about her experience. He was sure that God helped her to find them.

“Where’s the key…I put it on the table over here!” Steve shouted while searching. “I have to go now; I don’t want to be late”. He was just arrived home from his senior high school and had to go back to change his shirt for a course session this afternoon. “Any body saw it?” Steve was looking everywhere. He searched to where he was, in the garage, bathroom, kitchen, his room…in the living room, but nothing was found. O come on…I need it now, please God…He sat with his back lean on the sofa. God, I’m tired…but I have to go to English course now…he murmured and started to fall asleep…
Cling…he heard something fell down on the floor. He caught a glimpse of light at his side eye. He woke up and saw a key on the floor not far from his position. Hah... how could it be…His eyes searched for around, but no body was there with him. His mother was in the kitchen busy for cooking; his brothers were still busy with their activities outside. So, there was no chance somebody threw the key to him. He looked up…God, he…he…he…You’re so funny…but, great thanks for Your help.
We usually ask God’s helping in certain-big problems. We pray or even are fasting to get the answers. When we relief from the struggling and receive the answers we don’t forget to thank God, but for the ordinary problems…do we usually thank God for His care?
