Cynthia Thomas tells about the time that her brother and his new wife were escorted to their bridal suite in an elegant hotel. They looked forward to the fancy accommodations for which they had splurged on their honeymoon.

However, they were disappointed to find only a small room with a lumpy hide-a-bed. After an uncomfortable night, the newlywed husband went down to the front desk and complained to the management.

“Did you open the door in the room?” was the response.

When her brother went back up to the room, he opened a door they had thought was the closet. There, complete with fruit baskets and chocolates, was a beautiful bedroom.

It makes you wonder how many heavenly blessings we miss out on, simply because we didn’t think to ask.

“…You do not have, because you do not ask God.”—James 4:2.
