GOD WORKS IN WONDROUS WAYS

I come again to the remembrance of my June bug story. I am so glad I noted this in my "God Calling" all those years ago so I can relive it every year on this July 14. It is my beloved story of God performing God's work with no help from the cheap seats, meaning me.

My June bug story: I was reading the paper, sipping my coffee, one beautiful morning, and I vaguely heard a buzzing sound. I ignored it until I couldn't any longer as the sound kept getting louder, sounding more insistent. 

Finally, I went looking for whatever was causing the incessant buzzing, and there was a June bug caught in the screen at my window. A ballpoint pen happened to be lying on a table right below the window, so I used it to try to free the June bug. I worked it. Nothing happened except the June bug's buzzing sounded angrier and angrier. 

I finally gave it up, and in giving up, I said...out loud to the June bug...'You got God same as I do, Babe...you're going to have to let God do it because I can't.'

With which I turned and walked away. The buzzing stopped almost immediately, and I looked over my shoulder...there was the June bug moving away, free.

Don't tell me God doesn't love and care for every creature in the Universe. 

Thank you.
