Remember this precious insight!  “The Bible never once says ‘Figure it out.’  But over and over it says, ‘Trust God.’  He’s already got it all figured out.”  [Anonymous]

Remember where in the Gospel said - the seed that falls on good ground will yield a great harvest: 30, 60 or 100-fold.  That yield would have astounded Jesus’s listeners; they knew that a yield of 10-fold would be spectacular.

You and I are in preparation for the Kingdom of God, to live the Gospel with every fiber of our being.  How much TRUST do you have in the Lord’s guidance?  St. Teresa of Lisieux said, “God gives me whatever I want, because I want whatever He gives me.”

Let me share a story with you, “… a little boy wanted to meet God … so he filled his backpack with Twinkies and root beer.  When he had gone about three blocks, he met an old woman… sitting in the park quietly watching the pigeons.  The boy sat down next to her on the bench and opened his backpack; offered her a Twinkie.  Gratefully accepted it, she smiled. 

 
 

Her smile was so wonderful that the little boy wanted to see it again, so he offered her a root beer.  Another smile delighting the boy.  They sat there all afternoon eating and smiling, never saying a word.  [When] it grew late the boy got up to leave; he turned to the old woman & gave her hug. 

She gave him the biggest smile ever.  When the boy opened the door to his own house a short time later, his mother was surprised by the look of happiness on his face.  “What did you do today?” she asked.  “I had lunch with God [and] “You know what?  She’s got the most beautiful smile I’ve ever seen!”

The old woman returned to her home.  Her son was stunned by the rare smile, “Mother, what happened that brought such a smile to your face?”  “I ate Twinkies in the park with God; he’s much younger than I expected.”                                                 (Twinkies & root beer with God, Connections)

Our privilege is to fall in love with God - to do the sowing and let the harvest to God! “Remember God’s already got it all figured out.”                                                          Take a few minutes to reflect on when you saw God?  If you haven’t seen God lately offer somebody Twinkies and a Root Beer.

May God Be Blessed!
