SURPRISE

Daily Word — Saturday, December 27, 2008 SURPRISE I am enthusiastic about life! To children, surprise may be their response to a fun party, an unexpected gift, or a new discovery. A surprise can be something fun, unforeseen, and new for me also. At times I am so amazed by a turn of events that it leaves me feeling overjoyed and blessed. And when a situation turns out better than expected, I am delighted. My feeling surprised about a good outcome is a kind of wake-up call for me to accept something wonderful. It jump-starts my feeling of enthusiasm for life and being thankful to God for it all. Removing any limitations on the goodness of God, I welcome my blessings. "All the people saw him walking and praising God, and they were filled with wonder and amazement at what had happened to him."--Acts 3:9-10
