Yesterday, we were out of town for a soccer tourney. In between games, we headed to the mall. I took one of my daughters into the Disney store. After looking around for a few minutes, I asked the sales woman if they had any Snow White PJ's. (My daughter's birthday is in a couple days and she is in the need for PJ's--perfect combo!) Well the sales woman agrees with me and my daughter that Snow White doesn't have enough representation in the store; HOWEVER, there is a new Snow White night gown that will be on the shelves the middle of June.
She offered to take down our name and number and call us when it was available for sale. I told her that we didn't live in that town, but we would for sure be looking for it at our store. I then asked my daughter if she wanted that nightgown to be a late birthday present. After hearing me ask her this question, the sales woman asked us to follow her to the back of the store and wait for her at the door. We did. She came back with the night gown and said she didn't know if they would have these at other stores or not.
She called her boss back and asked if they could sell it to us anyway since my daughter's birthday is this next week and all. The store manager agreed and all 4 of us walked to the register super excited. When we got to the register, the store manager made a birthday button for my daughter and gave her a cardboard birthday crown. After the evening shower, the nightgown went on and the squeals commenced until bedtime. She was so happy, she was almost crying.
You know what? My daughter had been extravagantly loved by the Father. God knows my daughter's heart. He knows how much she adores Snow White. He knows what will touch her heart more than anything else. Here was a treasure she wasn't even seeking. Something so wonderful and she didn't even know it existed.
We have all been given an extravagant treasure. He is called Jesus. God knew what would touch our hearts more than anything else. Jesus is our treasure we weren't even seeking. Someone wonderful and we didn't even know about Him when He was given to us. What a wonderful God to love us extravagantly by giving us His son.
Thank you Father. Your love is extravagant. Thank you for Your Son. Thank you for blessing us.
