Missing M&Ms

Have you ever purchased a special item at the grocery story with a specific recipe in mind and then go to use it and someone has taken the liberty to help themselves? Like many people, my husband and I are trying to loose a couple pounds and eat healthy, so I'm not keeping "junk" food in the house.

Well my friend's birthday was coming up and he enjoys my white chocolate covered pretzels with M&Ms. I already had the white chocolate to melt and we normally keep pretzels in the house (not a terrible snack in a pinch), so I had purchased one small size bag of M&Ms. You guessed it, my husband thought they were a treat for him!  Why he thought that I will never know. Thankfully he did not finish the bag. 

As I groaned over the missing M&Ms and melted my chocolate and arranged the pretzels on the wax paper I was talking to God. My intentions for my friend were good but my attitude toward my husband was not. As I plopped the melted chocolate on the pretzels and quickly placed the M&M in the white chocolate before it hardened, I didn't even bother to count how many were in the bag. I could feel the bag getting lighter and I new I was nearing the end.

It just so happened I had the perfect number of M&Ms for the pretzels I had laid out. Coincidence? Perhaps, but I don't think so. If Jesus can feed 5,000 (Matthew 14:21) and still have left-overs, God can surely wink at me and show me he cares about the little details of my life. Especially when I'm blessing a friend and endeavoring to be a godly, Christian wife in the process. 

For the record, there was some melted white chocolate left in the pan. My husband gladly cleaned it out!
