Surprises

I have shared with you before that the devotions in the book "God Calling" always speak to me, but March 7 was prophetic. It described what God did for me March 4,5,6 and 7. Listen:" I love to prepare a feast for my disciples- a little glad surprise, not a necessity, as the feeding of the multitude may have seemed. I loved to give the wine-gift at the marriage feast. As you love to plan surprises for those who understand, and joy in them,so with Me. I love to plan them for those who see My Love and tender Joy in them."--Last Thursday I arrived in Dallas for a weekend in a hotel to babysit my grandchildren while their parents went to a healing conference. I scheduled my trip a day earlier because I had friends in the Dallas area that I wanted to see. I was blessed to spend almost 4 hours with a friend that not only read the book but told me that it was life changing for her. I had not seen this friend for about 30 years. Our time was more than I could have imagined. My evening plans did not materialize because my friend was ill. I started to question if I should have come an extra day but felt like God wanted me to get out of my comfort zone and spend some time in the beautiful lobby. I was very uncomfortable sitting by myself until this beautiful young couple started talking to me. They were engaged and expressed a desire to serve God by honoring him in their relationship. I told them that I was a counselor and we began an hours worth of sharing about the amazing marriage I had and the commitment that Billy and I had to work through all difficulties with Christ as the center. They asked questions about how they could improve their relationship. What a connection! Then the surprize...they invited me out to a feast at the Texas de Brazil restaurant. Do you think Jesus was the chef? Maybe....Thank you Lord for loving me so much. I was still smiling in the morning. I'll tell you about my next surprises tomorrow. Bless you, my friends.
