Father of Joyful Surprises
Father of all the Joyful surprise of Life!
You do – so unexpectedly – brighten up all my days
and fill my cup with overflowing sweetness.
I see the infusion of Your Joy
in the simple, common, everyday things of this day:
in the success that was mine,
that I had not counted on . . .
in the bird-melody that fed my soul,
when I was knee-deep in drudgery . . .
in the encouraging word that was spoke,
when I least expected it . . .
in the gentle sunrise and the glorious sunset
that began and ended my day with beauty,
when I did not feel my day
to be beautiful . . .
in the fist-full of dandelions
and the little “love-hug”
that blessed my soul,
when I felt myself “sliding” . . .
and in so much more
at just the right moments!
Father, some may call these things
accident, coincidence, chance,
or human goodness.
Perhaps they often are.
But deep within me
I know they could not happen
if Your Guiding Hand
and Your Love were not in them.
They are indeed
The overflowing riches of Your Grace!
. . . . . .
“Bless the Lord, O my soul,
and forget not all His benefits.”
– Psalm 103:2, Revised Stand Bible
