Two years ago, I shared my baby grandson’s
utter delight as he experienced the sand and surf
of the ocean for the first time.
I witnessed total fascination and joy
as he felt the gooey sand between his fingers
and the glittery water surrounding him!
and the glittery water surrounding him!
He was free to enjoy the moment because
his mother was safely by his side.
Precious Ones,
We can experience the blessings of our Heavenly Father
with the same untainted exuberance.
Despite the challenges of
our overly complex, modern society,
He is calling us to rejoice in Him.
Is something holding you back from embracing
God’s goodness today?
Do you need to crawl up into His lap
or run for the awesome covering of His wing?
It pleases Him when His children choose Joy
instead of giving into the frustrations of our days.
The great news is that His Holy Spirit enables us
to rise above the disappointments, hurts and failures
of this life to rest in God’s Grace.
And it sure helps to have friends who pray us through!
Amen?

Soon I will once again enjoy my grandson at the beach.
At 3 yrs. old, he will undoubtedly have a blast!
I know I will.
Delight yourself in the LORD
and he will give you the desires of your heart.
