Free Blessings!
How many of us hold tight to the theory that nothing in life is free? Yet, last evening my grandchildren and I experienced the most fun filled evening we had in many months and it was all free.
We were invited to our local park for a free BBQ and movie. When we got there, it was so much more. They had face painters (the girls got butterflies & the baby a flower), free balloon animals, tee-shirts for the adults and the BBQ, well it was hot dogs, hamburgers all the fixings, potato salad, pasta salad, macaroni salad, beans, corn on the cob, soda or water and when you were done with that, there was snow cones and pop corn for the movie.
Of course they had games for the children in which the winners could win prizes (even the loosers got something) & then the movie was 'Cheaper by the Dozen 2.' Even the baby stayed awake the entire time.
The miracle wasn't so much that it was free, it was while watching the movies my oldest granddaughter was lying on her back and she said Ranny, look my PaPa and God filled the sky with stars for us tonight aren't the beautiful? She was right, the sky was filled with stars and they were beautiful and perfect just as the night was!
So, when you start believing that there is nothing free in this world, go to that movie in the park, that free city concert, the free car shows, etc. you may be surprised what God shows you while you are there. You see, when we aren't encumbered with spending so much money as many of us do when we go out on the week-ends, we are much more opened to noticing the blessings around us that are there everyday, but sometimes we forget to take the time to look at the stars.
Have a blessed day!
