My granddaughter celebrated her second birthday today. Tomorrow is her birthday party. Leah loves monkeys, so her Mom, Deb decided to make monkey cupcakes. How special for Leah!

I often like to do special little things like that too. When I do, I’m reminded of God – He does all kinds of special things for us – big and small. Unfortunately, in the busyness of life we often miss the many things God does for us each and every day.

Take a moment to stop what you’re doing and look around. Nature is just the beginning of God’s wonderful blessings He has for us. It’s good to take the time to appreciate all God does for us.

A friend of mine bought me a mug for a joke. It said: Well…you can either agree with me or be wrong. She saw it as I could agree with her and I saw it as she could agree with me. We had a lot of fun over the mug. Then, the truth dawned on me. One morning as I was sipping my herbal tea, the thought came to me – it’s like God’s Word – we can either agree with God or be wrong.

He gives us the choice to disagree with Him – but that doesn’t make us right. He holds truth whether we choose to agree with Him or not.

The moral of the story: when we don’t understand, it’s best to go to the Truth and ask Him to give us a revelation so that we can embrace His Word.
