Have you been surprised lately?
It's fun. If you haven't been surprised lately you're definitely due.
That's one of the things I really enjoy about having children. They will surprise you in infinite ways. Sometimes joyfully, sometimes not so much.
Like right before you're heading out the door (running late of course) and need them to be ready to go and you discover they've painted their faces with marker and stripped off their clothes. Surprise!
Or there's the time you discover the puppy has dug a large crater in your backyard. You discover it in stages of course.
Stage 1: "Why are there muddy pawprints on the carpet?"
Stage 2: "I wonder where he got so dirty?" And as you spy the crater, " Oh my!"
But really surprises are more often fun. Like today, my girls were visiting my sister and unbeknownst to her decorated her bedroom for her upcoming birthday. Decorated as only 3 little girls could. She says she's going to leave it up for awhile to enjoy!
Saw this commercial recently and it has made me laugh now several times. I love the surprise in it. Filled in for a friend teaching an early morning Bible College class this week and it made those sleepy students smile and laugh. Check it out.
I love the surprise reaction of this little guy. (And oh btw, it is a little boy, despite the many people on the web debating that it might be a little girl.)
So, why not spread some joyful surprise around this week. Think of someone around you who could use a fun surprise and make it happen for them. Come up with something they'll like, laugh at or enjoy. Even point them to this commercial on this blog if you want. Do it, it's worth it!
In the world, who knows not to swim goes to the bottom.
