The past two months have been filled with nearly every vehicle we own or use breaking down.  We've also faced some financial surprises that did not delight us.  In addition to all that, extended family has been through some odd experiences that have left us laughing, sighing, and shaking our heads in wonder.

During another reading of the story of the prodigal son, I noticed something a little bit different.  Prodigal's brother complained to his dad about the fact that he'd never been given a party... and dad said all he had to do was to ASK, it was already his!

So that's where we are at!  We are asking for a party!    How silly of us to complain when our Father wants to bless us with something FUN and UPLIFTING!  He wants to see us smile!  And who are we to be too shy or too prideful to ask?  Our Father LOVES us....let's celebrate that love!
