Who knew you could find miracles in the grocery store.
This Monday we were doing our normal weekly shopping.
We were in the check out line when I remembered I wanted hot dogs.
We were already in line... And the hot dogs were in the back of the store.
I wasn't sure if it was worth it to go back and get them.
Sister Owens sensing my inner hot dog turmoil solved the problem by
suggesting we turn around and get them anyway so we wouldn't regret it
later.
We walk to the back of the store grab them and then make our way back
to the register.
In that amount of time we hear someone call after us.
My heart leaped as we were greeted by a man I worked with months ago.
We had spent weeks in his home teaching him the gospel of Jesus Christ.
As missionaries we move around and in that lost contact with him.
Now looking at him the change in his face was indescribable and for the better.
He said "when I saw your profile I knew it was you!"
He also told us how he almost went to a different store.
And we almost didn't go back for the hot dogs.
God has his hand is in our life far more then we know.
"Now ye may suppose that this is foolishness in me; but behold I say
unto you, that by small and simple things are great things brought to
pass; and small means in many instances doth confound the wise.
And the Lord God doth work by means to bring about his great and
eternal purposes; and by very small means the Lord doth confound the
wise and bringeth about the salvation of many souls."
Alma 37:6-7
