Love sent down...

Life....it can sometimes take you by surprise.

The compliment from a near stranger....
The gift of help...
The hug from a true friend...
The love of family...
Treasured gifts.

Life never ceases to amaze me..these surprises. Every time I think I have it together - every time I think I've arrived, this desired, humble heart is thrown off her game only to realize I can't do this life alone. Life must be loved ones...life must be journeyed with Him. The question is, do I take the time to see it...capture it...remember it..those surprise moments? For truly they are love sent down from the Creator of this life of mine. Do I cherish them in my heart? Do I breathe it in as new life giving breath.

Lord, help this feeble, broken heart to capture all that is you and see that it's your loving hand caressing me as I enter into the unknown...an unknown that causes me to see surrender as true joy and yet again realize that nothing in this life is more precious than the surprise of You. Thank you...thank you for these moments to capture all that is You through a human form...for You know these surprises are really moments needed in this heart of mine...love sent down.

Sometimes we are just too busy to stop and enjoy those 'God' moments. It is so true that we cant do this life alone. Can you imagine life without our Jesus? Thankfully we dont have to. Thanks for sharing - I love reading your thoughts.
