Spider on the pantry door

God has a funny way of reminding me of things. I pray this blesses you as it blessed me.

My son Quinn is obsessed with cookies. He is forever going to the pantry and asking "Cookie? Cookie?"

Quinn is also terrified of spiders for some reason.

I went into the kitchen after discussing the bills/finances with my wife. I've been stressing a little bit about money this month and especially so today. Well, I went into the kitchen and saw a spider on the pantry door and laughed to myself "Well that will keep Quinn away from the pantry!"

Then I thought "How mean...what kind of father would I be to give my son a spider when he asked for a cookie."

Whoa. Matthew 7:11 "If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him?"

God is never late with provision, and when I ask my heavenly Father for the things I need, He will not give me a spider instead. And when I get down and whiny, He uses funny things like my son's love of cookies and fear of spiders to remind me of His goodness.
