Blessings

This week I was so blessed to attend my nephew's promotion to Chief Warrant Officer in the United States Navy. Such a total transformation of a young man into a very responsible adult. While I was watching Shane receive his medal and honor, I went back in my mind to a young child that had to learn to tie his shoes before he went into Kindergarten. This was such a hard task for him, and my sister was ready to pull out her hair in frustration - I made a deal with Shane that I would take him anywhere he wanted to go for dinner once he could do this all by himself, after all, I was the grown up aunt just getting ready to start college. He learned and we went all the way to Wendy's (the first time either of us had ever been) on the other side of town. We got there, ordered our meal, and then he could not eat. So we wrapped it up and took it all the way home. How often do we as believers finally accomplish something, and the Father wants to reward us, and we finally get there, yet we do not partake? Have you ever done that? I was so disappointed as Shane had worked so hard for this reward, and yet I was not able to see him enjoy it. We need to let the Father see us enjoy His blessings. He so loves us and wants to give us so much. So Enjoy! Your Father loves you!
