Yesterday I discovered another definition for joy, i.e., watching little boys from the orphanage in Miskolc learn to make gingerbread cookies and one little girl who showed us her skill at making cut-out Christmas cookies that competed with the speed of sound.
As the children rolled out the dough and began cutting out the shapes, it was such a joyous moment for me. It took me back to the days when my own daughter Cheryl was first learning to cook and bake. There is something so satisfying in creating, be it food or a work of art. Maybe you will recall the time you created a "special masterpiece" you wanted your parents to display or if it was food, wanted them to taste, waiting expectantly for their smile of approval.
We are the creation of our heavenly Father, who looks at us through a Father's loving eyes, waiting expectantly for us to "taste" His love and accept the truth of His perfect gift, Jesus. What a joy it is for the Father when we finally accept the gift He so lovingly offers us.
Please pray for our little kids in Miskolc, that the truth of Jesus love for them would become real and a precious gift they willingly receive.
