Dear God, You are essential, absolutely and exceptionally good! What a day it has
been! While my husband and I bathed like
ancient kings and queens in the park’s free heated natural springs, our
youngest son, Travis played for hours in his own warm 90-degree pool. Doves, many
doves, perched and cooed in the palm
trees above where we bathed. Such a sweet sound to my ears! I lost count as to
how many of my favorite feathered friends had drawn near. At one point, my heart became so overwhelmed
with Your goodness, I thought it might burst. Under my breath, I quietly
whispered, “It’s too much Father. Your love is too much for me to handle! I can
barely soak it all in.”
Then, as if to lavish even more love, You had
my husband offer to take Travis and me for a ride in a dune-buggy. “You’ll have
to visit the natural caves nearby.” The dune-buggy owner exclaimed as we signed
the rental agreement.
Soon, we arrived at the caves the man had spoken about. My imagination began to run wild
as biblical stories seemed to come alive. As I stood before the large natural
rock dotted with shallow caves, I just knew that You were offering me an
unforgettable experience!
In that moment, I shared with LeeRoy and
Travis that Your only Son Jesus was more likely born in a cave rather than in a
wooden manger. To my surprise, the two of them swiftly ran to one of the caves
and curiously began exploring together, while I remained by the buggy staring
at a series of caves along a cliff face. Swept up by the moment, I began to
envision wondrous bible stories where dens and caves served as dwellings places
of refuge and as ancient tombs. I shook my head,
as I realized I could never have planned a moment such as this. All of our
hearts stirred up for You simultaneously? Truly You have plans for our lives together. Plans to bring us closer together as we try our best to follow You. I love You Lord! Thank You for this day!
