The Mad Hunt

Every year we have at least one Holiday Miracle: we find the item that has escaped us for weeks at various superstores and malls. this year's said item was found on our "date" last weekend.

Over the past 2 weeks, my husband I have dashed around stores, hunted websites, just in time to see that we had indeed missed this product, but I kept assuring Craig that they would restock often, and resignedly, he and I headed back to Walmart Friday night to look again! As we rounded the corner to the department, I saw the stocked shelf! Joy to the World- the item had come! We dashed way over to the shelf to grap the desired item that had been replenished! We both sighed with relief that our search was over and the lost had been found!

As I reflect upon this mad search, I am reminded of several verses that have always clicked with me when I felt distant from God. They ALL involve SEEKING! How often to I expect God to be waiting there for me when I ought to be chasing after Him and seeking Him like I did this gift! He promises us that if we seek Him with all our hearts, we WILL find him..... amazing!
This Christmas, as you look for presents for your family and friends, seek Christ with the same fervor. I promise, you will find Christ in a very real way!
