Monday February 29, 2016

You've got one day more this leap year and today is that day. What are you going to do with it? May you be blessed to spend the day with more determination and enjoy the night with more satisfaction. Don't let this be just another Monday. Make it one day more filled with God's glory.

You have allowed me to be a recipient of my parents extraordinary love. You, have weaved the fabric of their character and values into my DNA. You have made them the yardstick by which I measure myself. Thank you for choosing my parents for me. They are the reason I have learned to make things right, to not hold grudges. They are the reason I have learned unconditional love for family. I am grateful to You for my extraordinary parents. I am grateful to You for linking generation to generation— ancestors, grand-parents, parents, children and those who have yet to be born.

She hurried into the pharmacy, got the medicine, and hustled back to the car. Only then did she realize she'd locked her keys inside. "Oh no!"

Not giving up, she looked around for a tool. "Aha!" She spotted a rusty coat hanger. She tried to open the door. Failed. "I don't know how to do this. God, please, please, please send help!"

A moment later, a scraggly biker pulled up. "Lady, you need a hand?"

"Yes! My daughter is sick. I have the medicine, but I locked my keys in the car. Can you open it with this hanger?"

"Sure." A few seconds later, the car door was open.

"Thank You, God, for sending such a nice man!"

"Lady, I'm not a nice man. I got out of prison yesterday. I did three years for car theft."

She gave the man a hug and said, "And thank You, God, for sending a professional!"
