unexpected wrappings

Beautiful, Glorious, Wonderful God ~

Thank You! Thank You for this completely unexpected gift of time alone with You.

Time to reflect and celebrate the true joys of this particular season. Wow! God ~ thank You!

Thank You for the gift of this day wrapped in such vibrantly changing colors. From a slice of deeply intense red orange to the now fading yellows of the clouds. The wrapping of this day I would have missed had I not heeded Your call to get up and come see.

Lord, thank You too for a couple of hiccups in circumstances that allowed some of us to practice patience and forgiveness yesterday. Thank You also Lord that these practices led to even bigger ones of communication ~ speaking (and listening!) through the filter of Your love.

Thank You Lord that most of these situations were handled timely and effectively. Thank You that what has yet to be addressed has every probability of being resolved just as healthily. Because of You Dear Lord ~ only because of You!

Thank You that You provide for us every unexpected good gift we need ~ often wrapped in delightfully beautiful (albeit fleeting, just like the sunrise) packaging enabling us to learn, to practice and to grow in and through You. Thank You Lord. I love You. Amen.
