I'm glad I lost that

cotter pin while putting our snow plow on yesterday.  It sprung off the bolt and I knew it had to be within about a 12 inch by 12 inch area.  I tried three different times to find it by looking in different ways from different angles, but the snow, grass, leaves and twigs camouflaged it.   It wasn't until I prayed that God would open my eyes to see this thing that I suddenly noticed I was looking for this pin from a different perspective.  After that, I found it within seconds.  I'm glad I lost that cotter pin because it reminded me of the great prayer that God would open my eyes to help me see the chariots of fire he had surrounding us.
