Sometimes in life it is wonderful to get surprised. God surprised us yesterday and when He surprises you...you sit up and take notice. Christmas is still a couple of months away. That is always a hard holiday for us as we are miles away from family and old friends. It is not new to us. I don't remember the last time we saw family at Christmas. We have been blessed and have lived where God has provided friends and children to be around. It makes missing our grandchildren easier to deal with.
God knows the deepest desires in our hearts. We had always wanted to go to St. Thomas. Well, that is not the surprise. God connected us with a lady who needs a house sitter for three weeks over Christmas Break from school. It sits high on a mountain and overlooks the Caribbean Sea with the islands of St. Thomas and St. John in the distance. On a clear day you can see Puerto Rico! She has a dog and cat which fills a void since our two dogs had passed away. We both love the sea!
Our God is great! Sometimes it is hard to understand His love for us. Life is tough sometimes...but we can still say God is great! We thank Him for His many blessings.
"Trust in the LORD and do good; so shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed. Delight thyself also in the LORD; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart." Psalm 37:3-4
