A family were on
their way home from a family retreat week. The
father and the mother would like to surprise
their teenage sons by taking them parasailing at
the beach before heading home.
During the drive to the
beach, the boys whined and complained: "
What are we doing?" "Where are we
going?" "How long will it take us to
get there?" "Why don't we just go
home?"
Finally they arrived at the
beach, much to their surprise and delight. The
father asked his sons, "Why couldn't you
just trust that we were planning something
good?"
As the father and the mother
stood on the beach, the mother thought,
"Isn't that just what we do with God many
times? Always asking "Lord, where are you
taking us? How much longer will you make us wait?
Why won't you tell us where we are going?"
We often whine and complain
instead of trusting completely in our loving and
caring heavenly Father, who is always faithful
and wants to give us everything that is good.
