II Corinthians 1:3-5

³Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, ⁴who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves have received from God. ⁵For just as the sufferings of Christ flow over into our lives, so also through Christ our comfort overflows.

I didn’t really think about what I was asking for……

I just knew that this Mother’s Day I didn’t really want four hanging plants for my front porch (that’s sort-of become a tradition here).  I knew my summer is very busy and between keeping the flowers watered and the petals swept away I would end up with very sad-looking flowers.

One day while I was in WalMart,. I saw a beautiful quilt/comforter that I thought would be pretty in our bedroom..and it was actually less expensive than the normal four hanging plants.

I gave Tim the idea to do something a little different this year and told him about the comforter set.

Well, here it is!  And I am thankful!

However, as I was thinking about what I had asked for and as I remembered saying the words, “I would really just like a comforter,” it hit me…

THAT’S REALLY ALL THAT I EVER WANT, AND IT’S DEFINITELY ALL THAT I EVER NEED!

Jesus Christ!!!!!

Thankful for a God who knew that we would long for someone who could comfort us..thankful He sent His Son.

Thankful for a true Comforter!
