This was a reminder to me of how God really is in the details of our lives. I bought this outdoor heater at Lowe’s last year during their Black Friday Sale – it was $50 off! I knew at some point I’d need another propane tank but it was winter so it was in the back of my mind. I had gone to Walmart last week to pick up a few things, then to Sam’s Club to pick up some pictures I had them print for me. I had a little bit of time (lunch time) so I strolled around seeing what spring/summer stuff they had. I came across the propane tanks for $30 put I couldn’t tell if they were full or empty (no, I didn’t think to pick it up to see how heavy they were) so I just decided to leave it for now. As I was walking away I heard a man’s voice say “hey, are you looking for a propane tank”? I turned around, prepared to say no thank you – assuming it was a salesperson and it was the husband of one of my co-workers. I laughed and went over to chat with him. I told him about the heater I bought and that I was needing a propane tank for it. He told me the tanks Sam’s were selling were empty and that he had one he could give me! I said, seriously!?! He had been asking around his work last summer to see if anyone had an empty tank he could give his mom for her bar-b-que and he ended up with 3 extra tanks!! SCORE!!! I drove back to work just laughing at the whole thing. God’s timing really is perfect and He really does care about the little details of our lives! When I came into work Monday, the empty tank was in my office!! Thanks Bill & Lisa Ross!! 😉
