God is Danish

Tonight, my daughter and I went out to get water from the very wonderful filtered, reverse osmosis'ed, and "carbon polished" water dispensers that exist here in Houston. As I went to fill my first container, I put my 30¢ into the machine, and pushed the button to dispense one gallon of water immediately as the machine let out a beep to acknowledge that the appropriate amount of funds had been received and that the machine was now ready to provide the water. As soon as I pressed that button, I gasped - I had neglected to take the cap off the container. I scurried to remove it, and whispered "oh jeez" under my breath, knowing that if I didn't get that cap off in a heartbeat, I would likely lose half a gallon of water. A drop of water fell from the machine. Then it stopped. I looked up toward the sky, pointed, and said "Thank you!" God had plugged the water like the Danish boy plugged the dam. It was only 30¢, but the Boss had my back on that one, since He knew I had already counted out correct change for the amount of water I had planned to get. I know it sounds crazy, but God really is everywhere.
