A Reminder of God's Love, Grace & Mercy

We can see God and His way in everything, if we only look with our eyes wide open.

Yesterday, on our way to church, my husband Chris remembered he had forgotten to take his medicine. Deciding he should not wait until after church to take it, he whipped down a side street in sleepy East Dundee. As he came over a hill who was waiting but Mr. badge #100 ( in a town of 2900) - an East Dundee, Illinois police officer. Knowing he was toast, Chris immediately pulled over and put his window down before the officer could even turn around and pull behind us.

The long & short of the story is that the officer gave Chris a written warning, with the following statements:

"I'm giving you a warning.

You don't deserve it.

You're the kind of special guy we're looking for".

Hmm...

What an unexpected, incredible reminder of God's love, grace & mercy.

You don't deserve it.

But you're just the special guy we're looking for.
