My daughter and I started out for a day of shopping at the mall which was an hour or so away. We went into a gazillion stores and finally it was getting late so we started back. We had been on the road maybe a half hour and as it started to get dark she grabbed her purse to get her eyeglasses. They weren’t there. She stopped on the side of the road to search for her glasses. They just weren’t there and she realized she must have left them in one of the stores. She called as many as we could remember but no one had turned in her glasses. So we turned around and headed back to the mall.

As we drove, we started singing praise and worship to the Lord. This is what we do whenever we’re in any kind of trouble.

We arrived at the mall and went into as many places as we could remember having been in. No glasses.

Finally, in such discouragement, we went into the last one we had been in…

And there were her glasses. An answer to prayer!

But…

What made it very obvious that it was the Lord was that as we went to the door of that store the employees were just leaving. They had turned off the lights and were about to shut the door.

If we had been even five minutes later, we would have never found them.
