in good hands

I spent two nights in the hospital last week after having a little surgery. I had not planned to write about this, but something happened while I was there that I have to share. The nurses at our hospital work twelve hour shifts..... seven to seven. At seven on the second night the nurse and the nursing assistant that would be caring for me came in to introduce themselves. The nurse's name was Deborah, the assistant's name was Gracie. My name is Deborah Grace! I laughed and told them those were my names and said, "I know I am in good hands!"

The truth is, I knew exactly who was holding me in His hands! In His loving sovereignty, He placed those two women in my room to remind me that He is always with me, He provides for my every need, and He knows my name! :-)
