Gifts...

my birthday is this month. Yes, you have 15 more shopping days. It's not a milestone birthday but it is close enough!!

But last night I got the greatest gift... an answer to prayer. Not at all what I expected. I had to smile! I can't write about it specifically today but I will later this week.

Then I read this this morning: Don't Miss God's Answer: "Is anything too hard for the LORD? No!" Genesis 18:14
The God of surprises strikes again.... God does that for the faithful. Just when the womb gets too old for babies, Sarai gets pregnant. Just when the failure is too great for grace, David is pardoned...
The lesson? Three words: Don't give up...
Is the road long? Don't stop.
Is the night black? Don't quit.
God is watching. For all you know right at this moment... the check may be in the mail. The apology may be in the making. The job contract may be on the desk. Don't quit, For if you do, you may miss the answer to your prayers. {Taken from Grace for the moment, Max Lucado}

Smiles to all of you today! :o)
