We were on our way from a family retreat week. My husband and I thought we would surprise our teenage sons by taking them parasailing at the beach before heading home. During the drive to the beach, the boys whined and complained: "What are we doing? Where are we going? How long will it take us to get there? Why don't we just go home?"
    Finally we arrived at the beach, much to their surprise and delight. My husband asked them, "Why couldn't you just trust that we were planning something good?"
    As my husband and I stood on the beach, I thought, "Isn't that just what we do with God many times?" We say, "LOrd, where are you taking us? How much longer will you make us wait? Why don't you tell us where we're going?"
    We often whine and complain instead of trusting completely in our loving and caring heavenly Father, who is always faithful and wants to give us everything that is good.
