Manna from . . .school?

I got up early the other morning to make chicken salad for myself and the kids to take in their lunch.  I was excited to have something so yummy for lunch!  I got everything ready for my lunch except for the crackers I was going to eat with my chicken salad.  As the clock ticked on, it quickly became time to go.  I grabbed my lunch and out the door I went. . . without my crackers.  I didn't realize I had forgotten my crackers until I got to school, of course.  Later that morning, I was sharing with my colleague about how excited I was to eat my chicken salad at lunch but had forgotten my crackers.  She didn't seem exactly interested in my story, but listened patiently.  I went about my day teaching when halfway through my Algebra class, my colleague came walking in with a bag of crackers.  She told me she had them in her bag but had forgotten her soup so I could have the crackers to go with my chicken salad.  I was SO EXCITED!!!   I immediately knew that God had provided those crackers for me.  In my excitement I felt a pang of sadness for my friend who had forgotten her soup, but my excitement far outweighed the pity I felt for her.  Not only were they crackers in the little baggie, but they were saltine crackers.  The very crackers I would have packed for myself at home.  What a teachable moment for my students and I.  My students were calling it manna from heaven.  They were right.  God did not have to provide for me in that very specific way for such a little thing, but He chose to do that for me.  When I think about being a parent, I love blessing my children in any way, big or small, that I can.  It gives me such delight and pleasure.  Our Heavenly Father is no different.  I know that God took delight and pleasure in giving me the blessing of manna from a bag that day.  Thank you, God.
