Yesterday was Father's Day! And I got to spend it with some of my MOST FAVORITE people in the whole wide world.....my hubby and my children and grandchildren. Let me tell you about the sweetest gift of all that "we" received for Father's Day...you know, husbands share their gifts, right?
Oh, the grandkids (oldest is only five) had such wonderful surprises prepared for Papa. When we arrived, there were pictures taped to the back door where we were to enter that proclaimed "World's Greatest Granddad". Each had colored their picture with a "personal" touch! They had planned the menu ESPECIALLY for Papa....pizza and ice cream with hot fudge sauce! Heehee! They sang and danced and played all kinds of fun games with Papa and me. They had so many wonderful "gifts" for Papa!
But the sweetest gift of all...................the JOY of simply being together! It wouldn't have mattered where we were, what we did, or the food we ate! What was important was that we were TOGETHER, laughing and loving and stealing kisses the whole afternoon.
Is that so different from what God wants from us...His children? No matter where we live, what we aspire to do or even the food we eat, the sweetest gift to Him is when we simply SPEND TIME WITH HIM! Have you done that today? That's the way to experience genuine JOY in the Lord!
