I knew what she was saying was right, but I wasn't in the mood to hear a
sermon. In listening to one of her sermons, I was afraid she would 
start taking up a collection. I certainly wasn't in a mood for that. I 
wanted to give something but certainly not money. 

I remember there was a time when you went to a store to buy something,
look for it and then take it up to the counter, pay the cashier and 
then walk out the door with it. I sure miss those good old days. 

When I called the customer service, they assured me they sent the
package out at the correct time, and according to their records, it was 
delivered within the proper time. 

Hanging up the phone, I sat there, grumbling about my misfortune. Then
the doorbell rang. 

I got up and opened the door, and a man said, "I got this package
several weeks ago, but it's not anything I ordered. Is this something 
you ordered?" 

I looked at the package. It had my name on it, but it did not have my
address on it. I cheerfully thanked the guy, shook his hand, and wished 
him a good day. 

I went back to my chair, opened up the package and there was what I had
ordered—all in due time. 

I thought of a special verse, “To every thing, there is a season, and a
time to every purpose under the heaven: A time to be born, and a time 
to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted” 
(Ecclesiastes 3:1-2). 

Everything has a time element to it that has been established by God,
and when I surrender to God's time, I will plant seeds of happiness in 
my life.
