A Funny Day in My Life (three years ago)

July 26, 2005

My daughter went downstairs and got out an adult game (nothing bad, but not appropriate for a 5 year old) and said she wanted to play it. I told her no. She said she would play a kid game instead. So I got out Boggle Jr. and gave it to her and she said, "No, I want some options."

I said, "I will give you options - Boggle or nothing oh wait Boggle or you can clean your room."

She said, "Ok, give me Boggle."

I love my little girl, she is a riot and an amazing blessing in my life!

Sometimes we can act like a stubborn child and turn away the blessings that God wants to give us, but when we consider the options we might just realize that what HE had planned was best after all.

Can you think of a time in your life when you resisted a blessing that God wanted to give you? Did you finally accept it? Did you express thanks?
