With No Umbrella

Today I was reading about this lady. She was a sweet old lady who did everything for everyone. She would donate nearly all her money away and lived in a mere 550 square foot apartment. One thing it said about her was the fact that she never put anything off. When she was asked to do something, she would do it right away. I know its not exactly a big Christian leap, but I decided to start doing the same. No more procrastinating. In a way, it is a Christian commitment though. Most of the time I don't honor my mother and father (One of the ten commandments) and just ignore what they tell me to do. Today though, I changed that. I had just come back from running; lately I've been trying to get in shape. My legs were sore and I didn't want to move. As I just sat down and turned the TV on, my mom called me. She wanted me to take the trash outside and around the back. On a normal day, I would have said "sure, in a minute" and ignored her, probably getting around to it the next day. Today though, I didn't. It's been extremely windy outside all day and we've had a tornado watch. So as I was getting blown all over the place, I did my job. I walked back inside after I was done and sat back down. The second I sat back down, it started pouring down rain. Like crazy extreme pouring down. If I hadn't gotten up and done it right away, it would have rained on me too. I know it's just a small silly thing, but it's just one of the many ways I know God is listening.
