Recently I left home in my truck headed for Texas to make my weekly run. I had been home for three days and was not looking forward to leaving. As usual I waited to the very last minute to leave.
About six hours after leaving home I needed to stop and take on fuel. So I pulled into the Petro truck stop and took care of business. Fueling the truck using the restroom and getting something to drink and snack on. As I was climbing back up into the truck I noticed, to my horror, that my wedding band was gone.
After throwing my drink and chips up into the truck I ran back inside to check and see if it had fallen off when I was washing my hands. It wasn’t there. After retracing my steps and looking everywhere I resigned myself to the fact that my wedding band was gone and I was going to have to tell my wife.
As I rolled down the road I finally worked up the nerve to call my wife and tell her. After I told her I asked her to look in a couple of places at home and she did, with no luck.
Guys that is a call you don’t want to have to make to your wife.
Finally it was late and time to stop and take a break for some sleep. Before laying down I got my Bible off the dash to read a little before going to bed. I ask the lord for just ‘a word’ for the day. Upon opening my Bible I came to a page with an inset on it. The inset was tltled WORD. I could just hear the lord chuckling and saying “You ask me for ‘A Word’”.
Just before laying down I was thinking about my wedding band and opened my Bible to John 14 verse 13 and it reads ” And what ever you ask in My name, that I will do, that the father will be glorified in the Son”.
So I sat in the drivers seat and prayed, “Lord my wedding band means alot to me and I would really like to have it back, please help me find it. Amen”.
Closing my Bible, I climbed back into my bunk and before laying down I picked up my pillow to fluff it up and low and behold there was my wedding band. It was layed out perfectly in the center under my pillow.
Mind you I had been home for three days. If I had not had my wedding band on my wife would have noticed that and been asking question. And since I had just left home that morning I had not been in the bunk.
Where ever I had lost my wedding band, GOD picked it up and layed it under my pillow for me to find.
God cares so much for us all. He performs miracles everyday. From bringing people back to life to bringing my wedding band back to me.
Mark 11:24
Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them.
