Surprise Gift

October 26

This is Joy’s birthday. Friends drive us to a surprise in the countryside. The car slows by a farmer's 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 a rear seat built for one. A tow plane takes us aloft and we are set free. “We are in God’s hands now,” I whisper.

The noise of the wind hitting the canopy is loud. I thought gliding would be quiet. Joy gets her wish for a bird’s view of the beautiful foliage. 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)
