A Key To Opening a Door
Yesterday was a fun and interesting day. I went to church in the am as usual for a Sunday morning. I was the helper in the toddler room, so I got to play with, and redirect the children and only changed one stinky diaper ;-). After church I went to the store to pick up a calling card so that I could call my mom up since it was mother's day and all. I even stopped at McDonald's for a $1 drink as I was beyond thirsty, then I started the walk home. When I got home I rummaged through my purse for my key to get in. There was no key! I searched frantically now trying to find this one thing to allow me to be in my home. To no avail no matter how many times I looked in my pockets and searched through my purse they just weren't there lol. So I stood there in shock as I knew my phone was also in the house as I knew I wouldn't need it. Much to my dismay I was wrong. So I saw that a neighbour was out in their yard a few houses down and across the street. So I went over to them explained my situation. They were wonderful, loaning me their phone and even the phone book to try and find my landlord's number. We found his business number, but not his home number. So then I went back to the house to try to enter in another way...no such luck. Then the same neighbour came over with one of her sons with water and to ofter their washroom if I needed one. I was so thankful for them at this point as I was sitting in the sun and getting mighty hot. After about 20 minutes I went back to my neighbour's house again to use their washroom and decided that I should venture out and do some shopping that I had to get done (diapers). One my way home my neighbour was driving by me a few streets over and offered a drive as she was going home. So I accepted. She offered for me to join their family at her parents home for dinner, I declined as I was planning to go to church and thought for sure there would be a way of connecting with someone who had contact info for my landlord. Sure enough there was, so after service I got my landlord's home number and I was in my house for the first time in 10 hours. So thankful for the wonderful people that tried to help me out and did a great job at accomplishing it. Continually amazed by Him.

I am glad to hear that God is watching over you! I did that once but with my car keys instead and locked them in my car half way across town! It amazes me how God places ppl in our lives who will take care of us! The person that I was with actually drove me home and I was able to get my spare key from my house, with the help of the landlord and get into my car :)
