Picker Upper Clouds


When we sit still long enough the answers to questions you ask God present themselves in miraculous ways. Jarrod is part of the Volunteer Fire Department in Yoakum, he happened to be paged out while Jett was with him. I picked up Jett and went to take Jarrod's place in the hay field, raking hay for him. We did not talk much in the tractor I was thinking about Jarrod and his safety, Jett poor baby kept blinking his eyes. (The vibration and sound puts him to sleep every time.) While on scene at the deadly accident another accident was called in that a child had been hit on the highway. Jett overheard me talking with Jarrod and as a normal 5 year old he wanted to know everything about it. I did not have any information but was also contemplating what I would say to Jett if and when I knew something- should I tell him the truth and use it as a learning tool? do I say everything is okay? About that time Jett says look Momma, it's God's picker upper clouds, I looked in the direction he pointed and three rays of light shone through the clouds. My questions where answered by God without me even asking. Jett said Momma everything is okay now but let's say a little prayer, moments later I received a call from Jarrod that the child had survived. It's amazing to me how children have the ability to let go and let God and how Jett's observation eased my troubled mind. If that is not reassuring enough the song ,I saw God Today, was the next song on the radio.
