Birthday Present

October 26

This is Joy’s birthday. Friends drive us to a surprise gift. The car slows by a field, then we see it. Gads! It is a glider.

The pilot is dressed in jeans and a plaid shirt. “Nothing to worry about,” he smiles, “the leaves are in full color.” We squeeze into one rear seat and the pilot closes the canopy. The tow plane pulls us aloft and lets us go. “We are in God’s hands now,” I whisper. I thought gliding would be quiet. Joy gets her wish for a bird’s view of the Connecticut countryside. We thoroughly enjoy ourselves.

I’m just thankful the surprise wasn’t hang gliding.

“Give all your worries to God for He cares what happens to you.” (2Peter 5:7 NLT)
