Why does God give us people to love? How is it possible that He can be so good to us? My whole day has been filled with beloveds. It started this morning, around a kitchen table, with a bunch of cackling, hilarious women who make me laugh until I cry ... it is pointless to wear mascara around them, but I do it anyway. They encourage me in completely surprising and humbling ways. They teach me things all the time. It is so obvious to me that God put them in my life. He picked me up by the scruff of the the neck, like a mama cat picks up her kitten, and placed me right here amongst them. Why? Because He can. Because He loves to give His children good gifts.
We got to give our own child some good gifts tonight, it being her 10th birthday and all. And it's true...every smile, every cry of delight delighted her parents as well. And if we sinful people know how to give good gifts to our children, how much more will our Heavenly Father give to us if we ask Him?
Matthew 7:11
