The Rolling Store

"If you... know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him!" Luke 11:13

Once a week the rattly old bus would wind its way up the mountainside to the few cabins and cottages on Lake Delaware. Each week, my sister and Iwould be waiting with a little of our allowance in hand, ready to make our selections.

It was always exciting to climb the steps and look into "The Rolling Store". It had been renovated and outfitted with lots of intriguing shelves filled with groceries and other items. While Mom bought a few things, we had time to peruse the candy shelves and choose from the many mouthwatering penny items like Mary Janes, Necco wafers, Good 'n Plenty, etc. With a small sack to last the week, we were happy campers.

Have you heard the saying, "All good things come to those who wait"? The store came to us; we didn't have to go looking for things to buy that we wanted. Likewise, God will bring to us what we need. Doors and windows will open.

Today is unfolding just as planned. What I need will come to me today, without my searching everywhere for it. All I need to do is trust in the Lord, and in His plan for me. Thank you, my wonderful Father.
