Y’all look right here at me…
Here lately, I’ll walk outside and—wa-la!—there at my feet is an unexpected Amazon package with my name on it!
I instantly think, “One of our kids or grandkids has sent me a surprise gift! Oh, Happy Day! Happy Dance! Look at this God!”
But then… I open it.
And there it is—the thing I ordered yesterday.
Bummer. Downer. Depress—oh stop it!
Back to Happy Day, Happy Dance! Why? Because at my age, getting something you forgot you ordered is like making a new friend—with the same name as yours!
Proverbs 17:22 says, “A merry heart does good, like medicine…” And I’ve found that with Jesus, getting older doesn’t mean getting grumpier—it just gets gooder and gooder.
Life in Christ is like these packages:
✅ Sometimes we think God’s sending us something totally new…
✅ Sometimes it’s exactly what we asked for yesterday…
✅ Sometimes, we didn’t even realize how much we needed it until it showed up.
Even when the surprise is predictable, the joy is still real—because the Giver is still good.
🛡️ His mercies are new every morning (Lamentations 3:22-23). And friend, that’s worth a Happy Dance—even if the neighbors are watching.
