Sam-I-Am

My husband finds it enormously amusing that I love to golf.
Considering the fact that when I found the golf clubs he bought me right before Christmas (and no, I wasn't snooping - he just needed a better hiding place than the closet!) I thought "What was he thinking?" and envisioned what I could have done with all that money - even a gift certificate somewhere would have been better than these...these - I didn't even have words to describe them! I think he probably has every right to chuckle. Because, after he very thoughtfully bought me lessons and didn't try to teach me himself (oh, yeah - that could have been bad!)...
I absolutely love to golf!

Like Sam-I-Am's friend in the top hat whining about not liking green eggs and ham

or the reluctant child in the old "Try it - you'll like it!" commercial, I'm not too fond of this picture of me with folded arms refusing something without giving it a chance first. I wonder how often I do the same thing to God? "I don't want that present! I want this other blessing."

Only to find out that God knew me best.

I like them, Sam-I-Am - I like green eggs and ham!


What about you?

When your life's expectations don't add up to your everyday reality do you 'taste and see that the Lord is good'? (Ps. 34:8) That His ways are not our ways (Is. 55:8)- and that He delights in giving us good things (Matt. &:11) - including the desires of our hearts (Ps. 37:4)

Even when we aren't sure what that is!

All for Him
