(I really should have posted this earlier in the week, but life keeps zooming by.)

Of course we know God is good all the time.  (I think I can hear some of you singing that little ditty even now.) But sometimes God just sends a super-d-duper of a blessing your way and all you can do is sit back and watch your cup overflow with the bounty of His blessing. 

For example:

Suppose your 11 year-old-son's best friend is such a sweetheart and is around so much you truly love him like your own. 

And suppose the Lord calls you and your family to leave your home and that little boy behind because He has work for you to do overseas, and it breaks your heart to say good-bye. 

Suppose you have minimal contact with that child over the next six years because overseas is a long way away, and even when you move back to the States it's not the same town, and he is only a child afterall.

Suppose your heart aches to hug that child again as he remains in your prayers through the years, but it really seems that he will never be part of your life again.

Then...then suppose you discover this child is attending the area Junior College which is only 30 minutes from your house instead of the 3 hours he has been living.

Suppose that that child, who has now turned into a young man, unexpectedly shows up on your door step to say hi.

Well, then your cup is full to overflowing with gratitude to the Lord as you renew a treasured relationship and look forward to the next two years.

Such is my blessing for the week.
