Ever since I began surrendering to God, my life has transformed in many ways (read my testimony for more on this). I have become aware of how meaningful life is. Not only that, but I have started to experience life in a new way. Some of the things I could only dream of are now a reality. God has heard the many desires of my heart, and He has blessed me with pretty much everything I could ask for and more. I’m not trying to sound spoiled, but sometimes I kind of feel like I am. I’m grateful for it all, and I’m honored to belong to a Father that offers that kind of love to His children.
Recently, I was blessed with a rare opportunity to play with a baby tiger. This is an experience I will remember forever. I went with my mother and her friend, and the encounter lasted about two hours. The people that owned it were some of the nicest people I have ever met, and the love that they had for these animals was incredible. There was also an adult tiger that they owned. All of their time had been devoted to both of these tigers, and they cared for them like they were children.
God also has a full-time job, and that is caring for His children. How much of our time do we give back to Him? Is it enough to show Him that we are thankful for all that He does?
That’s so cute!!!! If only they would stay that little, I’d want one. It’s when they get bigger and start acting like a tiger is what scares me.

Wow! That would be unforgettable. I wish I could have a tiger as a pet. =)
And yes, my bro, I’m so awed at our Abba. The way He brought you into His Mishpacha [Hebrew for family, I like using Hebrew and Greek words, it spoils familiarity ;)]
I’m so blessed to come to know you, Justin! This morning my mother and I read some of your posts together. She liked your post on The Gift of Discernment. =)
