I Did It Just For You

(Jude 1) " Those who are called, beloved in God…"

Sometimes there is a miracle in the making and if we are not careful we will miss it.
I truly believe life is made up of small miracles. I believe that is what sustains our life and gives us hope in a fallen hurting world. Sometimes the miracles are so intimate that they should only be shared between our Abba and our self. But sometimes our Papa will say, "Go ahead, share my gift with others."

Last week was a special day. Princess Ivey turned one year old. For those of you that do not know Ivey, this is a great accomplishment. She has had a challenging year with many surgeries behind her and many ahead. She is truly one of God’s miracles and as her mom says, one of God’s wonders. Many times when her mom writes about her, I am left speechless and humbled.

My sister and I were to carry her birthday gift over to her on Friday (of course, I got stuck at work, so sis had the duty). But I had found the perfect card. It was a Max Lucado card and it said:

Next time a sunrise steals your breath
or a meadow of flowers
leaves you speechless,
REMAIN THAT WAY.
Say nothing and listen
as heaven whispers

"Do you like it?
I did it
just for you"

INSIDE THE CARD:
In the coming year,
may God’s wonders in your life
Leave you speechless.

I wept as I read this card. God had handpicked this card just for Ivey.

PERFECT .....my small miracle.

The card was delivered on Friday.

Work had been rough this particular Friday so I had to work late. As I walked into the house from work, my husband handed me a package. Seems like there are great people born in April. (Big Smile). It was from my in-laws (they live in Washington D.C.) Delicately (ha), I ripped open the package like a kid. I love presents.

I do, however, still have some manners, so I did go to the card first. And there I stood speechless. There was not "A" but "The" Max Lucado card. The one I had just given Ivey on the very same day. And my in-laws said, "All the wonderful things you have brought into our lives leaves us speechless." Now, I was speechless once again.

What were the chances of this happening? A small miracle? Oh Papa. Did you handpick this one for me?

And I stood there silent and heard the whispers, "Do you like it? I did it just for you."

And I thought of the wonders of our life and about how He sent His Son, Jesus.

You did it just for us.
And with each sunrise, I am left speechless.
As we are Your beloved.
