When my niece, Toni, turned six, I excitedly gave her some gifts I had spent extra time shopping for. Two weeks later, when I asked if she was enjoying them, I was disappointed to learn she had decided to return some of them. Even after my careful selection of those gifts--intended especially for her--she hadn't really appreciated them. As I asked God to help me get over my disappointment, I remembered some of the gifts God had given me--gifts that I hadn't appreciated either and wished I could have exchanged for others.
