A Crazy Story You Have To Hear!

Want to hear a CRAZY story?
The big ring on the top left is my high school class ring.
Back when my wife Danielle and I were dating I let her wear it, but it was always a bit too bulky for her to wear at her work at the local grocery store so she always left it in her purse behind her at the counter.
One day, a conning couple came into the store and as the woman distracted Danielle's attention, her male partner snuck in behind Danielle and stole her purse along with its contents (my ring included).
The couple was eventually caught but the ring was long gone!
Fast forward a little over three years and one day I get a call from my uncle. He said, "are you missing a class ring?" I was a bit puzzled thinking it was pawned off but said "yes!"
He had a friend who worked on the highway department that found the purse in a ditch after it had been mowed over several times over a three year period, but the ring was still in it and completely unmarked with my name engraved in it! - Tiny miracle number 1!
The ring on the top right is my wedding ring my gorgeous wife bought me after renewing our wedding vows. It was always just a tiny bit too big but I wore it proudly!
One cold late winter night on my way home from work I reached out my driver’s window to adjust my side mirror and I hear a ping as my ring had slipped off my hand and hit the pavement while I was moving at about 50 mph.
I was SICK! how could I seriously lose this ring! I spent hours freezing in the dark with flashlights on the side of the road looking tirelessly for it. I finally decided I needed daylight.
I didn't sleep a wink and as soon as it was light enough to see I was back out there searching for it, but to no avail!
I remember hitting my knees on the side of the road I so upset that I'd lost it. I had convinced myself it was going to be okay saying, hey it's just a ring right? Just a symbol that can be replaced.
In a last effort (which should have been my first) I boldly prayed for God to guide me directly to it!
As I looked up I saw something shining really brightly in the morning sun on the side of the road about 30 feet in front of me.
I hopped up knowing God answered my prayer!
As I got to it and reached down to pick up the shiny object I seen that it was just a 3/4" socket that someone had lost out of their toolbox. I was SICK again. But as I reached down and picked it up I see my ring laying right beside it! Yes, he guided me directly to it! - Tiny miracle number 2!
A couple years later while I'm exercising at a local gym I place this same wedding band in my pocket...that I later realize had a hole in it!
After I got home I noticed I'd lost it...AGAIN! I called the gym and nothing had been turned into the lost and found and the cleaning crew hadn't seen it on their rounds and they were locking up for the night.
First thing the next morning I rush to the gym (praying the whole way this time) and I started backtracking all my steps. I finally find it in the very corner of the room on the floor as if it had been placed there for me to find. - Tiny Miracle number 3!
The ring in front is a cheap Qalo ring I just bought to wear for obvious reasons! Haha
But here's the moral of my story...God doesn't just care about the BIG stuff in your life, but the teensy, tiniest, smallest and littlest things!
Go to him for help and guidance no matter what its about!
He wants to work MIRACLES in EVERY aspect of our everyday existence. Nothing is ever too big, OR, too small for God to move and show you that you're important to him!
