Surprise!!!

I am so excited for today! In fact I have been all week because my wife and I have been planning a surprise for my oldest son Kaleb. Earlier this week we have arranged to take him to go see The Avengers and not only that he is getting out of school early to do so. (For the record this is not normal, in fact I am the last to normally go for this) but I know how much he loves superheroes and how he has been counting the days down until this movie came out. But he has no clue, he is under the impression that something is wrong and that is why he is getting out of school early. So I can't wait to see he face when he realizes what is going on!
As I was on my way to his school to get him I was reminded of a passage in the bible about a good father. In case you don't know what I am talking about it goes something like this...
   "If a son ask his father for a piece of bread would that dad give him a stone? Or if his son asked him for a fish would his dad give him a scorpion? The answer is no because a good father wouldn't do that. So if our earthly dad knows what's good for us and how to take care of us on this earth don't you think God, who is our father in heaven know how to the same in fact wouldn't he know how to do it better?"
So as I thought of this and how excited I am for something as small as surprising my son with an early out and a movie. I can only imagine how God feels when he surprises me! I am reminded of how Brant from Air1 made this comment one day, "do we truly think God has our best interest in mind?" And the more I think of this question and do things for my children I realize that he does even if I can't see it or understand what is going on.
So if you are like me sometimes and you think God has forgotten about you, I want you to know God does have your best at heartinter
