It was fifteen minutes before Biology class. Grace slipped on her shoes, grabbed her cell phone and lugged her book bag over her shoulder. She rushed downstairs not wanting to be late for her biology class. Grace overhears her mother(Jill) "I can't find the car keys!" Everyone went into panic mode searching for the lost keys. Where could they be? The clock kept ticking and still no keys. Grace's mom went to plan B, our wonderful neighbors. Thankfully, our good neighbor Jennifer got Grace at her biology class only eight minutes late.
Class was dismissed and Grace had totally forgotten about the missing keys or even who would take her home! She checks her phone for any text messages. One, "We found the keys". Immediately, Grace called her mom, who clarified the message. Grace didn't realize how amazing it was until she learned the whole story...
Jill didn't know what to do, her eleven year old son, Benjamin, had soccer practice and she still didn't have the keys. So she went to the only solution she could think of...bikes! She gave her older son, Christopher, instructions on how to get to the soccer field, and off they were! Christopher kept looking behind him to make sure his little brother was still there. Then he stopped! Laying on the paved streets of Colleyville lay the lost keys! Without giving it a second thought, he picks up the keys and races back home. He runs inside to find his mom still looking for the keys which he now had in his hands. Later Jill recalls that she told them the wrong directions to get there! Yet, if they would have gone any other way they wouldn't have found the keys! If thats not proof of a living God, what is?

I love this story! I loved how you did it in third person. It's really amazing how God works, especially the fact that Christopher found the keys ON THE GROUND! I think God is reminding us that He's still here, still working, and still in control!
