Queen for the Day
Today I can relate to the saying, "My get up and go, got up and went!" Plopped in my computer chair, I browse a column, "Strange But True" in the West Valley Star magazine by Samantha Weaver. She notes that, "If you were like the average rabbit, you would take 18 naps every day." Well, call me a rabbit, is all I can say!
Weaver's factoid about a single queen bee laying 3,000 eggs all in one day left me thinking, "Queen for the Day holds a whole different meaning in the bee world." I felt a bit like a Queen for the Day today though, no, nothing regarding eggs, simply that my husband met me at the pool this morning with a special gift...one of those thick foam flotation devices that you can lay out flat on and sunbathe. Out of the blue, he picked this up for me, no birthdays, holidays, anniversaries, just because he loves me and wants me to have something to relax on while in the pool.
That's what I have to continue to remind myself about God. He gives me good gifts, not because I'm deserving, but because He's loving. He sent His Son, Jesus Christ to die for my sins WHILE I was a sinner, not after I got all cleaned up (that's actually never completely happened, but I'm working on it). He knew I couldn't do it on my own as I'm a sinner, saved only by His Grace. No matter how much I want to be the best wife, greatest Christian model to other women, etc., I fall short. Fortunately for you, you need a Savior...and I'm not it! :)

It's nice to have a flotation device and a grandpapa near by!
Matthew 7:11
If you, then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good gifts to those who ask him!
