Thank You For a Llama

 

Our boy, his boy, and the llama

"Give thanks to the LORD . . . for He is good, His faithfulness endures to all generations!"(Psalm 100:4-5)

Our four-year-old grandboy decided last summer that his daddy needed a stuffed llama for his November birthday. When the big day arrived, sadly, he had not found the llama . . . until . . . he and his mama ran to Winn Dixie for groceries that afternoon. Yep! Winn Dixie came through. The perfect llama. His daddy was "thrilled" and thanked his boy profusely for the wonderful gift. Smile.

In his letter to the Thessalonians, Paul encouraged believers to "give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus." Beloved, thank God in ALL circumstances. We may not get from God what we asked for, but God always gives us what He can use for His purposes and our good.
