Today getting ready for chapel I was excited. I felt like a little kid getting ready to pull off a big surprise that I knew would delight the grown ups. And it did. The chapel was amazing - it was so great to get to surprise and honor the professors who have poured so much time, effort and energy into our lives. So great to see the body of Christ, the grad/sem students here at CIU, coming together for such an event and in such a way to honor the professors.
As I finished the day, cleaned up and started to unwind I realized that God likely has that feeling. He watches me run around, doing the same routine day in and day out, yet in the middle of my day he sometimes just likes to drop a delightful surprise in my lap. I often forget that God is a good heavenly Father who likes to give good gifts (Matt. 7:11) until I have the opportunity of bestowing a gift on another and recognize anew the expression of love and pure delight in bringing a smile to the face of another.
I hope I learn to be bold in seeking God's gifts and just as bold in graciously giving to others.
