Woke up this morning and pretty soon after I awoke I recalled that I needed to look for what God had in store for us to do today that would lessen me and increase Him. I considered this a breakthrough because I usually have to be up a while before these kinds of thoughts start coming to my mind. All I can say is "it is working!" As I ask God to take more and more control in my life I find myself seeing more opportunities. I am finding it easier to smile and speak pleasantly to people I see and to do things without being prompted. I went to see my doctor this morning. I knew he had a birthday coming up and so I fixed him up a gift. I walked in his back door and into his personal office. As soon as I went in I started singing Happy Birthday and gave him the gifts. Wow! That felt good! He was overwhelmed and said that no patient had ever remembered his birthday. He turned around and took two collectible knives from his credenza and ask me how I liked them. Of course I said I did - I could tell he was happy with them. Suddenly, without any preamble he just said "I want you to have them!" I was flabbergasted! I was trying to do something good and already I was being repaid!
I know this was a small thing and I wasn't doing it to get something in return. I was just excited about doing something good for my doctor and here he was doing something for me! Yes, God can outgive me! Thank you Lord!

This is such a wonderful post! I am really getting to the point that I can't wait for tomorrow so I can let God's goodness be seen again. I know I will be rewarded by my Father, perhaps in a way I don't even notice but He is with me right now and stands ready to bless me!
