This week the thought resounding in my heart has been to that we are to rejoice in each day. To find delight or joy in every day. Sounds easy and very biblical, but if we were to be honest, it is a challenge some days.
Last week, I shared on this verse (you can read the post HERE):
“This is the day which the Lord has made; Let us rejoice and be glad in it.”
(Psalm 118:24, NASB)
Somehow God keeps stoking my thoughts to dig a little further into this, bringing me back to another vacation memory.
I admit toddlers, and those who are seniors, are my favorite people. Spending time with either of these age categories can bring deep meaning to life.
Seniors tend to share history and memories which I never before heard or knew. The facts are fascinating and often shed insight into current daily life. Their words, memories, and lives point me to Jesus who is ever faithful.
Toddlers also remind me of the faithfulness of Jesus in a much different manner.
While on vacation, it became our pattern to take our youngest grandchild for a walk each night after dinner. My husband would hand him a stick and he was ready to go.
With the stick in hand, he was able to poke, strike, push, and tap anything which struck his fancy as he mosied along.
The first night he walked a short distance. With each passing night, he walked a bit further, until he finally wanted to walk the entire loop.
He never tired nor grew bored with the poking, striking, pushing, tapping, and pointing at the very same things from the previous walks. It always brought equal delight and interest.
The memory will always be held near and dear to my heart for I never want to forget what the Lord impressed upon my heart since our vacation. Join me at Woman to Woman Ministries HERE as perhaps the lessons will resonate with your heart as well.
