Surprise!!

I remember the expectation my kids would have when I would go away on a ministry trip for an extended time cuz they knew daddy would be bringing a surprise! It was as much fun seeing their expectation rise than the prize itself.

I think we all like pleasant surprises; they seem to always point us to hope and amazement. We live sometimes in a very mundane routine world and when a little pleasant surprise comes, it gives us a fresh perspective from time to time!

Surprise your loved ones from time to time! Stop and pick up that favorite food, or that little item that speaks “I was thinking of you”. This coming week Shari and I will be celebrate 25 years of marital bliss and I still like getting that little item from time to time to give a little surprise that makes her feel as special as she is to me!

Take time and thought today and give a little something to communicate, “you matter” – “you’re special”. Drop a note to a friend; surprise someone today (in a good way!).

Michel, Jake, Cadence bring me a prize when you come next week!
