God is Good.

This eveining, after Saturday night service, I took my kids to get something to drink at seven 7 Eleven. One of the guys that works there I know fairly well. He's a good fella. Anyway, after paying for the drinks, he says to me "hold on a sec." A few moments later, he hands me a super loto quick pick ticket. He spent his own money to give me and my kids a chance to win something - anything.

I am consantly amazed at the goodness of God. My oldest son, Xavier, said that God probably put it in that man's heart to do that for us. I used that as a teaching tool. Helping my son to understand that God's promises are to the faithful. I told him of my faithfulness to pay tithe - a commandment of God - and to give in the offering. Faithfulness to the commandments of God yields the blessings of God.

I don't know if this is a winning ticket. It would be wonderful if it is. But the simple idea of recieving the cahnce to win from the genuine kindness of a man who could have just spent the money on himself, that's a blessing in and of itself. And if nothing else, it proves to me that God is aware of me, my family, my life, strugles, pains, trials, and he's just letting me know He's still there, with everything in his control. All I have to do is trust and obey him.

God id Good. 'Til next time.
