We all hear alot about Random Acts of Kindness and as a Christian, I like to think that I am R.A.K. obedient from time to time. Of course, I am not looking for recognition or credit, but I do have to share about one particular act today that got me thinking. I was going through the drive-thru at Tim Horton's for coffee and as I was paying for mine, I felt the Holy Spirit nudging me to pay for the person's order behind me. I had enough money so I proceeded to pay for their's. I wanted to scoot out of there quickly so they didn't see me when they were told their order was paid. I found myself giggling as I rushed out of there. I had so much fun with it and it made me all giddy. It occured to me later, "Does God giggle when He blesses us at unexpected moments?". I have to think that He probably does. He takes great joy in blessing His children, but do we always acknowledge Him when we do receive? Do we always give Him the credit for these blessings or do we credit our own effort and will? James tells us that "Every good and perfect gift comes from above", so in essence every good thing that happens to us is as a result of Him and His will for us. Perhaps someone has paid for our coffee or given us a compliment when we are feeling down, but we owe it all to the Lord. It is He who has prompted that person to pass on that blessing or "good thing".
So the next time you receive a blessing, just picture the Lord giggling and it will be sure to make you thankful that He cares enough about all the little things in your life.

Kim,
Since we are created in God's image, I have to believe that God giggles. I loved your post and whether or not God giggled, I sure did.
I also wanted to thank you for stopping by at my friend Kimberly's blog about her trip with breast cancer.
Your post there was another random act of kindness, and as a friend of Kimberly, I want to express my appreciation.
May you have a truly blessed Christmas.
Aldon
