Losing It

Do you ever feel like you are losing it? You can't find your car keys. You can't find your coat. You can't find that $10 bill that you just had in your hand. You can't find your glasses. You can't find your car in the Wal-Mart parking lot. You can't find your sanity!

.

I am constantly losing things. I have this awful habit of putting things in what I consider to be a "safe place" and obviously it is a very safe place because I can never find it again! I work for a law firm but our office is inside a building that is owned and houses an insurance company. After 9/11 security measures were put in place and you must scan a personalized card upon entering and exiting the building. If you are a visitor you are given a "visitor's badge" by security at the main doors.

.

Each employee is given a card upon being hired but if you lose your card it is up to you to pay to have it replaced. Well, I have worked here for several years and I have kept up with my card ever since I am proud to say. I have forgotten it once because I changed purses and I left it at home by accident but that was it. I always have my card. Always!

.

Well, guess what, I have lost my card! I had it Friday when I scanned myself out of the building going home. I took off Monday and when I was walking through the parking deck on Tuesday I began to fumble through my purse and realized I didn't have it. I have looked in my truck, under the seats, in the console, in the door holder pocket things, through my wallet, my coat pocket, everywhere and I cannot find this card. So, for the past two mornings I have had to go to the security office, explain why I need a "visitor's badge" and get "signed in" before I can go to my office. What a pain!

.

As I was walking up the OUTSIDE STAIRWELL in 17 degree weather heading to the security desk I was fussing at myself for losing the badge. "You lose everything!" I said to myself. Then I thought "But you can't lose God!" Thank goodness I can't lose him...well thank goodness he can't lose me!! "...I shall lose none of all that he has given me, but raise them up at the last day." John 6:39.

I just found that scripture this morning! I came to my desk and began working on this story and I was actually looking for a totally different scripture when I came across this one. And this one, I needed. Wow! God is so good! He will lose NONE!! It doesn't say that he can lose one or two, or that he may forget one or two it says he will lose NONE!! How special is that?!?! Our God is so great that He's got the little bitty babies in his hands, He's got you and me sister in his hands, He's got the whole world in his hands!
