Was Lost, But Now Is Found...

When it comes to sleeping habits, I'm more of an early bird and my wife is a night owl... That's why I take on most of the responsibility of getting the kids up and off to school. Part of my morning routine since school has started is to fix the kids a hot breakfast. So far, this first week of school has included hot ham & cheese bagels, gravy & biscuits, and this morning my family famous omelets.
This morning I searched and searched for my favorite omelet making skillet, but I could not find it. My oldest, which was the only child up so far, had no idea where it could have been (even though he had had the responsibility of putting the dishes away the day before). I continued searching and searching... through cabinets it had no business being in, and in drawers that it was too small to fit in anyway... but I was desperate.
My son suggested I go wake up Mom and ask her where the skillet was, but there was a certain amount of pride at stake here that I was not willing to give in to. As my son finished his morning routine I continued my frantic search. I knew it had to be in the kitchen, BUT WHERE?!
I knew if I went and asked my wife for assistance that, more than likely, she would march right to it... and it would be in a place I had already searched. We had a friend cleverly refer to a woman's innate ability to locate lost items as "uterian radar."
Causing my wife to have wake form her slumber would have earned me the "look"... and I would have been left standing there uttering incomplete sentences like "But I..., How did you... Oh, never mind!"
Picturing this whole scenerio in my head, with arms crossed, and one hand on my chin... I began my search again. And after several minutes, and a few clanging pots and pan... SUCCESS! I found it hidden in plain site right where it was suppose to be. I'm so glad my wife will never know....
I'm not sure if there is a spiritual meaning to this whole story... I guess it would be how we view God sometimes. At times we seem to frantically search for Him when He's been right there all along. Or at other times we refuse to seek Him because of our own stubborn pride. Or, it could mean that God's given us everything we need, but will not always place it in our hands without some effort on our part.
Whatever it means... I'm really cooking now!
