Blessing Double

Twin A and Twin B are how they were identified at the hospital, but they are known to us as Dennis and Dustin.  Mr. Bill nor I didn’t give any thought to having twins, but apparently we should have: my mom’s a twin, my grandmother’s a twin, and my great-grandmother had two sets of twins.

It is no surprise how richly blessed of God we are!  He IS our Heavenly Father, after all.  He’s made known His affections for and love to us before time: we bear His image in divine design from creation and He’s adopted us as joint-heirs in Christ.  A double-birth was overwhelming at first – two to feed, clothe, and care for, but we soon came to more fully appreciate the double-blessing.  Matthew wrote how even the birds know the nature of The Creator, “Look at the birds of the air, that they do not sow, nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not worth much more than they?” (6:26)   Even with this small [even shallow] glimpse of The Father’s heart, why do we question Abba’s (Father’s) care?  Spurgeon says, “there is heaven in the depth of that word – Father!”  Will we not savor and drink of the joy of Him Whose love knows no bounds, no limits, no end!  If we MUST be overwhelmed, let it be so from  drinking deep of The Father’s love and the beauty of His Beloved, Jesus Christ!
