God's providence in all aspects of our lives
Samuel Caraballo
SUMMARY: The author's son wanted Thomas the Train toys for his birthday, but they couldn't afford them due to financial struggles. However, his wife found a bag of 27 Thomas trains for $7 at a thrift store on her birthday. This small act of providence gave the family hope and courage to fight their other battles. The author encourages readers to have faith in God's sovereignty and not give up in difficult times.
It was almost his second birthday. And among so many joys and conflicting emotions, the question still remained unanswered: how do we buy the 'Thomas trains'? That was the gift that Samuelito wanted for his special day. Some colorful braids carved in wood.
Actually these toys are very pretty. However, the beauty does not remedy the fact that each "little train" has almost one eye of the face. The English creators of this concept managed not to lose a hundredth of their investment. To add insult to injury, “Thomas the Train” cartoons bombard television bands every day like sharks looking for easy prey. And so, day after day, little Samuelito at 11:30 am in the morning faithfully tuned in to his favorite dolls. As soon as the episode ended, the boy used the claim of the "insistent widow" from Luke 18: "I want Thomas's trains"!
