'Daddy's' Endless Surprises! Our Thoughts:
As a child, we always wanted surprises, whether it was a piece of candy, a little toy from
the store, or perhaps a trip to our grandmother's. It doesn't take too much to make a child happy. But, as we grow older, the cost of the surprises seem to
be more and more. It comes to the point most surprises don't excite us anymore. The flowers lose their smell, and they become limp, after a few days. The candy is
never the right kind of chocolate. The clothes never fit. And, who gets cards anymore?
Remember that special guy surprising you with a phone call, asking you for a date? Now, that 'special guy' is your husband, and the romantic thoughts have
gone out with the kids, the house cleaning, the dirty dishes and wash. The bills eat up the available cash, so there is no room to buy surprises.
'Daddy' has endless surprises. He wants you to come to Him, abide in Him, and the surprises are yours for the asking. He loves you more than anyone could ever love you.
His tenderness goes beyond that we can show to each other. He says come sit with me, love me with a never-ending love, and I will give you your dreams, and be with you always. What better
surprise, than to have Him show up when you most need comforting!
God's Thoughts:
John 15:7 If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you.
Our Cup:
Heavenly Father, there is a little child in all of us that love surprises. Thank you for giving us surprises when we have known of our own. Your surprises are everlasting. In Jesus name, I pray. Amen.
