The staff God gave to Moses was a lot more than just a walking stick. Hmm!
Handmade gifts! The idea of someone thinking us so special that they would go out of their way to make something special for us. Be it a bouquet of flowers from their garden, a specially prepared meal, or maybe even a knitted scarf or sweater. It's just heartwarming. But oftentimes the receiver may not understand or consider all the time and effort the giver put into the gift. We are all guilty of this when it comes to God. We so often take for granted His daily handmade gift of TODAY! "This is the day that the Lord has made, let us rejoice and be glad in it." We rush into it after coffee or tea, or we begin to complain about our aches, pains, or shortcomings; often without a thought of what God has set before us to enjoy. Let us remember each day is a handmade gift that bears our 'giving thanks' before we do anything else. We'll often find if we start the day this way it flows much better.
Until tomorrow...
