MONDAY THOUGHT 3/24/08

Did you ever hear God laugh?  Maybe it was my imagination, but I feel as if I did last week. 
 
It had to do with a miracle dropped in my lap.  (The details are unimportant, but it involved a totally needed and totally unexpected windfall.)  It  had come after a lot of whining and complaining, the basic tone of which was: “God, what have you done for me lately?”  And then, like a big fish landing at my feet in a boat, God kerplunked this miracle in front of me.  I had this sense of, “Any more questions?” from God.  Abashed, I had to laugh at my own foolishness and God’s goodness.  And I swear I heard God laugh too, shaking His head gently and, as always, patiently.
 
My point?  If there is one thing I’ve learned over and over again (and keep forgetting over and over again, too), it is that God is always there, always watching over us, with more patience and love than we’ll ever have.  Enjoy that love.  Oh, and by the way, it was a sweet sound that warmed my imperfect soul.   — jri
