SURPRISE, SURPRISE, SURPRISE

Everyday is filled with surprises. I got one this week when I went to visit my mother and her room had been stripped of everything, including my mother! My mind raced with every imaginable explanation except the rational one which was simply "she had been moved to another room". It was a reminder to me that the only safe way to proceed in this life is to take Jesus with you every hour of every day. It is comforting to know that by fully relying on Him we can handle any surprise that comes our way. Our strength to face uncertain days, our joy to behold something new today and our prayers for all of our days is supplied by an awesome God through his son Jesus Christ. So I celebrate welcomed and unwelcomed surprises because I know it is precisely the plan God has for me.

Prayer: Father, help me find peace by relying on you.(Matthew 6:8)
