The Pony Tail Holder

I'm starting a new blog... Words to Encourage...  I was talking with someone a few weeks ago and they shared with me how God had moved in their life in the past. As I listened to them talk, I thought of how encouraging it would be to hear or read testimonies of how God is working all around us each and every day.  I at first thought of writing a book of testimonies but later thought about starting this blog.  I'm starting with an experience I had many years ago but still encourages me today.  So here goes... 

The Pony Tail Holder

As a young stay at home mom, life was very busy.  My sons, A and J, were three and one years of age and kept me hopping. We were just starting the day and I was already getting a little stressed.  Before starting to take care of the daily chores, I decided to put my hair up in a pony tail.  I pulled my hair back using my hand to hold in place.  I then looked on the bathroom counter for my holder but could not find it.  I looked through all the drawers, on the floor, everywhere I could think but still could not find it.  As I mentioned earlier, I was already a little stressed so this was adding fuel to the flame.  I started walking around the house, looking everywhere with my hand still holding my hair back in a pony tail.  Tears were starting to fall.  I finally gave up and sat on the couch.  The tears started to fall even more.  Then I looked up and saw J, my youngest, toddling down the hall toward me.  He had something in his hand. As he came closer, I saw what he was holding ... a pony tail holder. 

God cares about the little things too.
