BECAUSE, that's why!

I used to pester my Dad all the time, "Why, Daddy, why?" If he could give me the answer, he would. Otherwise he'd respond "BECAUSE, that's why!" Today is a good example of "because" in action.

I had a ghastly migraine yesterday, so we made no trips for today. I had no Diet Dr Pepper; a big crisis for me. This morning, BECAUSE I had no trips, I had to ride the bus if I wanted soda. I brought my candy, I always do.

I felt OK to take the 10:30 bus, BECAUSE I did, I handed out candy to 3 people on the bus. BECAUSE I finally got my appetite back during the ride, I handed out 4 more bags of candy to the people at the fast food place. BECAUSE one of the recipients was also hungry, I ended up giving him 3 more Bibles/candy for "his kids".

BECAUSE I still wanted my soda, I went to Foodtown. I handed out 2 more bags as I checked out, but BECAUSE I forgot to pay for the peanut butter I had to get BACK in line, a different line, and hand out another bag of candy to the cashier.

BECAUSE I got back in line, I missed my bus. BECAUSE of that, I handed out 3 more bags of candy and some cold pop to the homeless people at the bus stop. BECAUSE I missed the one bus, I caught another and handed out 2 more bags before I got off and went home.

Nineteen total. BECAUSE.

I normally never share these details but it's a telling image of God at work; I could have gotten very aggravated by my circumstances but God chose to use them for good.
